Regular updates
According to Sophos, this is one aspect of network security at home you cannot ignore, but we tend to forget about this. Just like your phone needs a software or security update, your WiFi needs a security patch as well. The firm says that users should check the last time their updated the firmware of the router.
Further, users should enable auto-updates on the device, if that is an option. Sophos says if you are not able to update the device, it is better to replace it with a better and latest one.
