Actually, there's a checklist here for securing your home router
Some notes
- For disabling Remote Access (aka Remote Administration) it depends on whether you need to access your home devices like IP cameras, IoT devices, FTP server etc.
- Passwords used for log-in and SSIDs - Recommendation minimum is 15 to 20 alpha-numeric with special characters in a passphrase manner rather than randomly
- Unfortunately, the checklist did not elaborate on the protection of IoT devices which is common nowadays for home users. See my post below for IoT devices protection.
