[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 707128"] Securing a home router is woefully simple because there aren't many options. The most simple, effective way to secure one is to simply disable administrative access from WAN, restrict administrative access to a single IP address on the LAN. Then enforce 443/HTTPS authentication on administrative access with 80->443 forwarding disabled. That's going to secure a home router in such a way to make it exceedingly difficult to hack. Disable UPnP, Disable WPS, change admin name/password, keep the firmware updated and you are gold. Well, as gold as a 'home' router can me. [/QUOTE]
