A Router

Like smart security devices, a router is another thing you should take time to consider before buying. While many good home routers cost hundreds of dollars, it’s important to remember this device is your gateway to the Internet. It provides a firewall against the outside world; and, and internal routing between all of your devices.

If a router’s firmware has been replaced with malicious code, it could be hazardous to your safety and privacy. Cameras, computers, and smartphones rely on your home Internet. When building your home network, consider buying a new router for better security and peace of mind.
