WPS (WI-FI PROTECTED SETUP) PIN ENABLED

Most home users should be using WPA2-Personal, also known as WPA2-PSK. The “PSK” stands for “pre-shared key.” You set up a wireless passphrase on your router and then provide that same passphrase on each device you connect to your WI-Fi network. This essentially gives you a password that protects your Wi-FI network from unauthorized access. The router derives an encryption key from your passphrase, which it uses to encrypt your wireless network traffic to ensure people without the key can’t eavesdrop on it.

This can be a bit inconvenient, as you have to enter your passphrase on each new device you connect. Wi-FI Protected Setup (WPS), was created to solve this problem. When you connect to a router with WPS enabled, you’ll see a message saying you can use an easier way to connect rather than entering your Wi-Fi passphrase.

WPS Disable it immediately! If your router is hijacked, the hacker can have persistent unauthorized access to your private network.

Also, disable remote management setting to prevent alterations to your router settings, it also prevents unauthorized access and blocks backdoor access to your router and to your private network.

Change the default password and default administrators password to your router. Also, change your default WiFi channel to something other than 6 or 11.

Change the default passwords both administrative and pass-phase both your ISP router and your personal router to prevent unauthorized access to your localhost.

Enable your firewall on both your ISP router and personal router, only allow secure connections to and from your private network using your personal router.

Althou, there are other ways gain unauthorized access can occur; such cloning your Mac address, is another way to gain or re-gain unauthorized access to your private network.
