Here are some steps you can take to secure your home Wi-Fi router:

1. Change the default router login information. Generally speaking, you’ll want to set the username and password to something only you know – and something that’s not easy to guess.
2. Disable remote administration. Having your router setup accessible from outside your home can be handy, but it can also give attackers the chance to access your network over the Internet.
3. Change the default SSID. Network devices come preconfigured with an identifiable name; you should change this to something unique and obscure that attackers can’t easily guess.
4. Setup an encryption protocol. Security standards such as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2) and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) can help encrypt your web traffic and prevent unauthorized access to your network.
5. Keep your router’s firmware up to date. It’s important to ensure you’re running the most current version of your router’s software to take advantage of any bug fixes and security updates.
