Answer 1

Change the router's default name and password to a long, unique passphrase and turn on automatic software updates so the router stays patched. Disable any settings that let people manage the router from the internet and turn off easy-connect features like WPS. Use the strongest Wi‑Fi security your router supports and give guests a separate network so your devices stay private. Keep the router's firewall on and check connected devices now and then so outsiders have a hard time getting in.
