Protect YOUR Router
MONDAY TIPS — “How to Protect Yourself on Today’s Routers”
(FBI‑based guidance, written in your broadcast voice)
It has come to my attention that the FBI has issued new guidance on
router security.
Many Americans are using older or unpatched routers — and these
devices are now being targeted by cybercriminals. The FBI reports that
thousands of home and small‑business routers have already been
compromised.
Today’s Monday Tips will help you protect yourself, whether you’re at
home, traveling, or using public Wi‑Fi.
Tip 1 — Keep Your Devices Updated
Every phone, tablet, and laptop you own needs regular updates. Updates
patch security holes that criminals actively exploit.
Check for updates weekly
Restart your devices regularly
Tip 2 — Replace Old Routers
If your router is more than 5–7 years old, or no longer receives
firmware updates, the FBI recommends replacing it.
Look up whether your router is still supported
If it’s end‑of‑life, it cannot be secured
Tip 3 — Change the Default Password
Most routers come with a factory password like “admin” or “password.”
Criminals know these.
Create a strong admin password
Disable remote management
Tip 4 — Reboot Your Router Regularly
The FBI specifically recommends rebooting routers to disrupt malware.
Reboot once a week
Unplug for 10 seconds
Tip 5 — Be Careful on Hotel and Public Wi‑Fi
This is where Vigo — and anyone who travels — is most exposed.
Use a VPN on all public networks
Turn off auto‑connect
Avoid banking on hotel Wi‑Fi
Hotels rarely update their routers. Airports almost never do. Public
Wi‑Fi is convenient — but it is not safe.
In today’s world, router security is part of everyday safety. A few
small steps can protect your information, your identity, and your
peace of mind. This has been Monday Tips — keeping you informed,
prepared, and one step ahead.”
