Many of us have a tough time managing security on our home network devices from a web page on our desktop or laptop computers. If you’re on a road trip and your loved ones for some reason asked you to monitor or manage their home devices remotely, you’d probably respond, “Fuggedaboutit!�
Now you can nod and say, “Sure.�
There’s actually quite a bit that goes on inside that network router sitting in your home. But as PC World observes, it’s the “device that everyone forgets� even though it has passwords to set, firmware to update, and a bunch of IP addresses to manage for every device that uses it as a gateway to the internet. But when it comes to managing the security of each of those connected devices, it’s pretty useless.
