Work from home is the new normal, but how secure is your Wi-Fi router?

With home becoming the new workplace, a strong, stable, and secure internet connection is another essential for the new-age workforce. Even though most of us carry smartphones that can also be converted into portable hotspots to access the internet via other devices, a Wi-Fi router is a must to make home your new office. However, a Wi-Fi router equally calls for constant maintenance and monitoring just like any other smart device – laptops/desktops, smartphones and a host of other devices that access the internet from your router.
