Router Basic Security Sticky/Tutorial

[anotherengineer]

I noticed there are next to nothing for stickies/tutorials in the security section. Also a lot of this is beyond the avg user.

I was wondering if it's possible to add one, something basic for the avg user.

As in, no scripts, add-ons etc.

Basic as in, easy and quick to do by anyone, and ONLY from stock router gui and/or in PC settings, and won't break anything, or (minimal affects)
-router name and password should changed and be at least xxx long..............
-maybe change basic log-on IP?.............
-set DNS to one of the following...............
-disable WPS, or xxx or etc..............
-enable this, this, this, etc...............
-maybe a blurb on DoT (if not too advanced)................
-maybe a small blurp on ipv4, ipv6, WPA2/WPA3, vpns (software vs hardware etc.).................

I don't know, just something. All I do know is there a ton of info, most of it is beyond me, and I don't have the time to learn, understand and implement it all.

Thanks

FWIW, my install notes flag * Security-related considerations... notes, not a tutorial, in 10,000 characters or less... basic enough and better than nothing, imo.

I'm so sorry. There is nothing you can do for Vulnerability Attack. None of them works for it.
