Ok, many of these steps seem straight forward but it is surprising how many people don't follow these steps.
First, create a password (probbably the simplest step but don't even get me started on how many people are stupid enough to do this.
Second, change your 192.168.1.1. login info. The defaults are:
Netgear: Username: Admin, Password: Password
Linksys: Username: Password, Password: Password
This is a step that you have to change! If someone, hacks into your router if you have the default login they can remotely access almost anything about your router. They can change your password, shut down the connection, change the router IP, change the SSID, block sites, etc.
These two simple steps are probabbly the easiest things to do, but as I said before not many people do them.
