  1. 5 Things to do after connecting with your a new router

  2. Netgear technical support team has listed down the top five things you should do immediately after starting your new router.

  3. It takes some time to open and configure the new router. But, a Wi-Fi router if left incompletely or inappropriately configured and with poor security, can leave your network unsettled and unguarded towards malicious users. The below guide will help you safeguard your router from malicious risk and provide proper configuration and performance.

  4. PASSWORD

  5. Typically, the default passwords are as simple as ‘admin/admin123.’ So if you don’t want your security to be breached, Netgear tech support recommend changing the default login password immediately after you plug in your router the first time.

  6. WiFi NETWORK NAME

  7. The WiFi network name can reveal a lot about your router. Therefore, change it to something different from default – without entering any details that can be easily identifiable. It can be something unusual but of course should be simple to remember.

  8. WPS and UPnP

  9. Both these services are designed to simplify your life, but at the same time there are several security breaches to it. Check your router’s settings carefully to disable both WPS and UPnP.

  10. FIRMWARE

  11. While firmware are created to be stable, there are two most important reasons to look for updates immediately after buying a new router. Primarily, your router may have been made long back, and in the meantime a new update may have been released. Secondly, there are vulnerabilities that crop up in router firmware, so it’s always good to have the latest (and most secure) firmware available.

  12. REMOTE ACCESS

  13. Having a remote access on your router opens up a huge chance of risk/vulnerability that attackers can take advantage of. Usually, manufacturers these days are taking default security seriously, so you might get the remote access option disabled by default.
