Used equipment security
I purchased a modem and router from a friend. This morning his son texted me with my Internet speed, "238 download 14 upload Just ran a test on your WiFI 👀👀👀". WTF! Not cool! How do I make sure ...
What modem and router is it?
Did you factory reset it and do a new install?
That'd be the first thing I'd do with anything new.
Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on, then do a new install on it.
Make sure when you do the reset and reconfigure to use a different SSID and passphrase. If you use the same SSID for some reason at least change the passphrase.
