Your router is very useful thing for hackers. Only crazy ones will attack bank using home PC, hackers usually do it using infected computers and routers. That's why we need to configure all router settings, to maximize complicate it hacking.
This kind of spyware (for router) cannot be detected directly by antivirus, but can stole your password and block sites.
How to protect router from WAN read below.
First step – set password for admin. DON'T use router with default administrative password!
Set login and password for Internet access if necessary.
Enable Firewall – in your router menu may be another, find it and turn on.
ACL is useful in the office, but it is useless in home (even dangerous). That's why I recommend you to block it from WAN and even set rule as shown below – in this case only PC (notebook) with local IP 192.168.1.2/3 can login to router. Gadgets with another IP will be ignored.
Wi Fi is very comfortable, but unsafe. If you want to use it, it would be good to prevent connections of unknown gadgets. First step – connect you smartphone, using Wi-Fi (WPA2-PSK) and go to “DHCP” - here you can find MAC Address of all connected computers. Find MAC of your gadget and go to Wi Fi settings.
Don't forget to change SSID (it is unsafe to use your router model here) and Pre Shared Key.
Then fill “Wireless MAC Address Filter” with MAC Address of your smartphone. Click “Submit”.
Good luck and clean router!
