Router & Wi-Fi Settings Checklist – Guided Router Security Review

Your router is the one device protecting everything else, and almost nobody has ever opened its settings page.

The Router & Wi-Fi Settings Checklist walks you through the settings that decide whether your network is defensible, one plain question at a time, and checks what it can observe from the network side. You do not need to know what any of the acronyms mean — that is the point.

What it covers

• Whether the router's administrator password is still the one printed on the sticker
• Remote administration from the internet — switched on by default on more routers than you would expect
• UPnP, the feature that lets any program on your network open a hole in your firewall without asking you
• WPS push-button pairing, a long-broken convenience feature
• Firmware age, and whether your model still receives updates at all
• Guest network separation — whether visitors and smart devices can reach your computers
• Wi-Fi encryption standard and password strength
• Observable services answering on the router itself

What you get

• A written PDF report emailed back to you, typically within one business day.
• A scored checklist, with each item rated Critical / High / Medium / Low.
• Specific guidance for each answer you gave — including a genuine "here is how to find out" path when you did not know, rather than assuming the worst.
• Step-by-step instructions for changing each setting, written for a non-technical reader.
• Reporting built to CompTIA Security+ and PenTest+ practice standards.

Who it's for

Every household and small office running on a router supplied by an internet provider, and anyone who has never logged into theirs.

Requirements

• Windows 10 or Windows 11, connected to the network you want reviewed
• Run as administrator
• About 10 minutes, plus access to your router's settings page if you want to answer everything

What this is not

QuickScan is detection and advisory only. It never logs into your router, never changes a setting, never guesses a password, and leaves nothing running behind it. Part of this review is based on your own answers, and the report states which findings came from you rather than from observation. It is not a certification, an audit or an attestation.
