Brian Krebs had a blog post on this a while ago. The key thing to do --
unless I'm badly mistaken -- is to change the admin's password from the
factory default.
That one I knew about when I got the router, and it has a password only
I know. And it also has a wireless pass phrase that only I and a few
friends who visited in the past know of. Most of them are
unsophisticated enough that they probably forgot it, although their WiFi
enabled devices probably still have it.
If your LAN is on a different class C subnet, change the
router's IP address from the standard 192.168.1.1 to an address on your
subnet.
Not on a different subnet.
And, while risking the wrath of Russell, limit access to the MAC
addresses
of your local hosts that will access it via radio.
I hadn't thought of that one. It would be in addition to the pass
phrase, and that would cover visiting friends who have been here before.
