Wait, Germany here. Every Router has an unique password, aswell as auto updates. And Wpa2 is the standard here is

lol, me naming my Comcast router “Netgear” so I didn’t have to change the info in all my devices. My laziness has worked!

It takes a cyber security person to outline the most basic things? Surely all of these are common sense…

Fun tip, name your router the name of some old model from an obscure manufacturer, but make sure the SSID is identical to that old one's default. Then, watch them struggle trying to exploit your 2026 router while thinking it's 2005 eWaste and question their existence 😂

I run a nighthawk with WPA2 and software that tells me as soon as a new MAC connects, allowing me to block that device. 😎

WPA2/3 doesn’t encrypt all your internet traffic, it only encrypts the wireless signal between your device and your router so nearby people can’t sniff it. I realize you may be dumbing it down or simplifying but it’s misleading.

my favorite part is telling people to update to wpa2 or 3 and then all of their iot devices break and they get mad.

As someone who was the "fix it guy" in my family, and has never had an official cyber security job, I do those things when I first get a new router. Not always the firmware thing but my current one has an app for that now and I can check updates.

I'm not trying to nug you, but I would highly recommend looking up some knife skill courses specifically you should try the grip where you pinch the part of the metal where it meets the handle and cut with a sort of rocking motion.

I’m again so glad that my network has already been secured, I have separate networks for my IoT devices and I have notifications for any new devices that connect to my network as well

What? People don't set their wifi name and password to something cool or funny? 😭 And you allow access to your router with username and password???? Why would you do that? I only alow access from a specified device via a certificate and also need my hardware key.

How can you login by WiFi to a router without guessing the private key? 😅 if they can crack your wpa I think you’ve more problems of your default router password
