When did you last update your Wifi firmware?
Just FYI, A'goners, that routers often need patches to remain secure over their lifetime and old routers may no longer even be supported and therefore, there would be no new patches for new security holes.
If you've never checked your router's firmware for updates now may be a good time. In my case I have 2 network devices and both have needed security patches to keep them safe. This is in addition to making sure your router is not accessible from the outside world.

@curiousjim Not having an update isn't necessarily a bad thing. They usually come out after a security vulnerability has been discovered, so with luck, a router gets more secure over time. Not sure how that affects any "apps" running on them however. |
@mikhailark Thanks for the tip on the Firewalla. |
