Network Support and Security Router Hardening

The initial settings on a Home wireless Router can pose a Security risk.For example, if threat actors know your public facing IP address, they can search the Internet for your Router's default log in credentials and remotely access your router. Anyone that has a wireless device in range of the Home Wireless router could connect easily and possibly access devices on the network. Without encryption, a threat actor can use easy - to - get and often free tools to simply intercept communications with very little effort. This can lead to further attacks as the threat actor gains knowledge about you and your networks. During installation of the router, it was partially configured but has some security issues that need to be addressed.
