• 🛡️ MAC Filtering: Enable the allowed list of devices (but remember that MAC addresses can be spoofed).
• 🔄 Guest network: Create a separate network for guests with limited access to local resources.
• 📈 Firmware update: Check the software update in the section System → Update.

WPA3 — a new Wi-Fi encryption standard that:

- Protects against brute-force attacks (password guessing).

- Encrypts traffic even on open networks (WPA3-Enterprise).
