Yes, you should secure your devices. But sometimes, could also be that the ISP is slow.

Good tips indeed. 1 of the first things I do is to check if there are any updates to my firmware as indicated in the article...i do also enable NAT and disable ping requests.

That said, perhaps u wanna consider separating your entertainment devices e.g. game consoles, smart TV etc within a DMZ?

Just my 2 cts...

my suggestions below ?ÿhope it helps:
<ol>
<li>Change all administrator password immediately</li>
<li>Change the default settings to a better one (E.g. upgrade to WPA2)</li>
<li>Change the SSID to another name</li>
<li>There's 2.4ghz and 5ghz, assign them to different devices (E.g. smart TV, mobile phones, etc..)</li>
</ol>
