Our WiFi router, which was several years old, has been having hiccups recently, so I tossed it yesterday and installed a new one. I'm not crazy about the fact that I had to install an app on my phone and set up a Netgear account to set up the router, but I did. Twice while going through the setup routine, I got a message on my phone saying "Someone is trying to access your account. Is this you?". Twice I pressed "Deny".
Now I'm not the most tech savvy person around, but I would think the setup routine wouldn't be flagging my own log-in. I eventually got through the firmware update and setup, changing the default passwords and network names. Other than not having WiFi, is there anything else I can do to protect myself?
