To secure your home network from external threats, we recommend the following steps: 
- Ensure all devices attached to the network have updated antivirus and malware protection.
 - Enable a firewall on the router or other gateway device.
 - Regularly download security patches for all devices and applications.
 - Restrict access to unknown or suspicious network connections.
 - Periodically change default passwords on the router and other devices.
 - Install a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) on the router for secure remote access.
 - Ensure all devices connected to the network have the latest firmware.
