Change the Name and Password for Administrative Settings
This is an important step that’s easy to forget when setting up your router. Setting a password for router access is key, but you should also login to your administrative settings and change both the username and password for those settings. Most routers just leave this as a default for easy access, but that makes it very easy to hack into router settings and then cause all kinds of further trouble. So change your administrative passwords and log out to make sure that the change takes effect.
