Hardening your Home Router

1. Upgrade your firmware regularly.(only from the manu) ... some disagree but im not risking ruining a new router.
2. Choose a secure admin password at least 16 chars.
3. Disable remote administration.
4. Disable unnecessary services.
5. Disable uPnP.
6. Change the IP address of the router from 192.168.1.1
7. Enable HTTPS admin login/sessions.
8. Use wpa2 encryption.
9. Log out/restart router after admin tasks. And clear browser cookies/active logins.
