If there’s one thing most people forget to do at home, it’s keep their router’s firmware up to date. If you’re like most people, you’re probably way behind in terms of security patches. Router manufactures often release new firmware to deal with hacker attacks so it is a good idea to stay up to date.
Firewalls are a barricade against unwanted traffic and intrusion. By filtering out network traffic, it reduces the chances of hackers stealing information through your personal computer. Some firewalls come with the added ability to filter dangerous email and files from the Internet. Both hardware and software firewalls exist. Check with an expert to find the solution right for you.

There are many ways you can protect your home network and one of them is to change your router's default password. This will help ensure that your router and your personal network are protected from unauthorized access.
