Question Home Network Security Best Practices

[marthesk99]

Security is a top priority for me; therefore, I'm seeking effective strategies to enhance the security of my home network. With this in mind, I have some questions. What are the best practices for securing my home network against unauthorized access, malware, and potential cyber threats? Are there specific encryption methods, firewall configurations, or security protocols that you recommend me to use? Additionally, I'm wondering how often I should update my network security settings?
