Change Your Router's Password and SSID

Many people forget to reset their new router's password and SSID, and what they do not realize is that this leaves their network wide open for exploitation.  

Since this information is widely known, it's the first thing someone will try when trying breach your security.

For instance, Linksys and D-link default passwords might be both admin and admin.

The password should be changed to something complicated, a mixture of numbers, letters and symbols.  The SSID should match that of your LAN's workgroup.
