Abstract
- PROBE YOUR NETWORK FROM THE OUTSIDE SCAN YOUR NETWORK FOR VULNERABILITIES Shields Up (pcpro.link/332shieldsup)isa free web service that connects to your home router and tests a wide range of ports and services. KEEP AN EYE ON YOURTRAFFIC Some router firmware includes a traffic meter that can break down network usage by client and by application. ISOLAYE UNYRUSYED DEVICES ON A GUEST NETWORK Almost every modern router supports at least one isolated guest network; we've seen some that support as many as nine. Butthere's no need to use these common IP ranges: in your router's DHCP settings you can change the third octet of the address to any eight-bit number you want, so your router could be 192.168.44.1 or 192.168.255.1.
