Regarding Wi-Fi router security, look for WPA3 encryption for strong protection. Regular firmware updates are crucial too—they patch vulnerabilities. A good firewall and guest network feature add an extra layer. Also, consider a unique admin password https://www.routerhelpsupport.co... and regularly check for any connected devices you don't recognize.
