Advanced Router Security Tips

Protect your network with these essential security measures:

  • Enable WPA3 encryption (or WPA2 if WPA3 isn’t available)
  • Create strong passwords with mixed characters, numbers, and symbols
  • Disable WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) to prevent security vulnerabilities
  • Enable MAC address filtering for additional device control
  • Set up a guest network for visitors
  • Regularly update router firmware for security patches
  • Change default admin passwords immediately after setup
  • Enable firewall protection
  • Disable remote management unless absolutely necessary

Tips: Always change default usernames and passwords after initial setup. Default login information is publicly available and makes your network vulnerable to unauthorized access.
