"...Here are 5 easy steps to take when you get a network device / access point to harden yourself
against "easy" exploitation (and this applies to ALL hardware):

1) Change the default passwords...

2) Disable remote administration... (i.e.: Remote Router Access - disabled)

3) Update the firmware... example: Linksys - WRT54G • WRT54G2 • WRT110 • WRT120N

4) Disable unused services... (i.e.: SNMP, TELNET, UPNP)

5) Change the default settings of the device..."
