The inclusion of MAC address filtering in routers enables control over connected devices based on their unique MAC addresses, adding an extra layer of security.

Prioritizing routers that prompt users to set strong, unique passwords for router administration is essential to prevent unauthorized access.

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.

Look for a router that has features such as WPA3 Encryption, Automatic Firmware Updates, Guest Network Support, Strong Firewall and parental controls, so you can better protect your network from hackers, malware, and other threats. https://www.tp-link.com/ph/home-...
