Privacy Dual Band Wi-Fi 6 Mesh Router

Description

Your home router controls all network traffic between your devices and the internet, making it a critical component that deserves careful security attention. While many users focus on securing individual devices, routers often contain outdated software components and receive minimal ongoing security support.  – Hawkins Wood

He says most internet routers have the following issues:

• Firmware contains outdated software components with known vulnerabilities
• Manufacturers provide minimal ongoing security support
• Updates are infrequent and often abandon older models entirely
• Default configurations prioritize features over security
