Your router's security stinks: Here's how to fix it

"If your router is given to you by your internet service
provider [ISP], you don't want to use it, because ISPs give
away millions of them, and that makes them a prime target
both for spy agencies and bad guys," independent computer
consultant, Michael Horowitz noted.
Instead, Horowitz recommends that security-conscious
consumers upgrade to commercial routers intended for small
businesses or that they at least separate their modem and
router by using two different devices. (Many “gateway” units
supplied by ISPs can often act as both.) If either of these
options are unfeasible, don’t worry as Horowitz also
provided a list of precautions that users can take instead.
