[QUOTE="Ink, post: 1052020, member: 3"] A WiFi router that receives firmware updates, with VPN and DNS configurable settings, and router firewall. Disable WPS and other unsecured forms of connectivity. Enable Guest networks for foreign devices (ie. friends and other family). I would recommend WiFi 6/6E compatible router at a minimum, however this heavily dependent on the household and how often electronic devices are upgraded. For example, if you are satisfied with WiFi 5 and using older technology, or don’t own any devices that are currently WiFi 6 or later compatible, then don’t upgrade unless you are certain you are no longer receiving router firmware updates. WiFi 7 routers are available, but are relatively expensive right now. A [URL='https://www.bitdefender.com/netgear/']cybersecurity-powered router[/URL] isn’t always the ideal umbrella solution, as they often require on-going subscriptions to get the best protection.
