Dont forget to turn off UPnP. Its a convience setting...and exploit for hackers. Turn it back on when you want to setup a new device.

Great coverage in helping to secure your router & its network. Be careful changing your routers SSID & password as you will need to change those wireless devices that used to hookup wirelessly to the new SSID & password changes.

Adding a VPN router that protects all devices through that router, etc etc😊

Asus was reccomending Port Forwarding if u are utalizing AiMeshNetwork Features

What are your thoughts on that?

7:36 pass phrases are easy to crack as well, with modern hardware. best option is to random password and use qr code to login.

It would be great if I was able to even find most of these settings for my router. The config interface is ridiculous for mine.

You should also lower the transmission power of your wifi so it doesn't broadcast too far outside of your home. Doing so will lower your transmission speed, but you won't notice unless you OCD.

Am I able to buy a hardware firewall? As a beginner I would love to have my internet secure from hackers! Is Ubuntu and Linux worth learning ? I currently hate windows but play all the games an average person plays anyway do I need to learn pfsense? Can someone give me an idea what to look up please ? Do I need to start my first server ? Do I need virtual machine knowledge I'm confused I recently lived with a guy that knew about all of this and he has been changing my information on my accounts since I left my PC at his house what should I do? Please give me some insight on how to fight this hacker

Hey Steve and greetings from Saudi Arabia! 👋
Awesome videos in the channel and this Playlist.

Could you make a video about frequncies?
i.e. 5 hz and 2.4 hz and the reason why most smart devices like light switches use 2.4 hz

And why android phones dont show 2.4 in the available network list ?

I mean every time i want to setup a new device that requires tuya or smart life i go through a huge process of apps and steps that i eventually forget and have to re-learn with every new device, was it a mistake that i named both frequencies with the same name?
I am going to delete and make a new home network any tips on naming and setup strategies to make the 2.4 and 5 hz issue "less inconvenient "?

Hope the comment wasn't too long 😅
