The FIRST thing the technician should do to secure the router is **Change the router's default password**.
Changing the default password is crucial because default passwords are often widely known and can be easily exploited by unauthorized users. Once the default password is changed, other security measures can then be taken, such as adjusting settings, disabling SSID broadcast, or managing WPS, but securing the administrative access is the top priority.
