A SOHO router, or Small Office/Home Office router, is a network device designed to connect a small number of computers or devices to the internet, typically in home or small business environments. These routers combine the functions of a modem, switch, firewall, and wireless access point in one device. Due to their widespread use and default configurations, SOHO routers are frequent targets for cyberattacks, including unauthorized access, malware infections, and exploitation of outdated firmware. Ensuring strong passwords, regular firmware updates, and disabling unnecessary services are essential practices to secure SOHO routers and protect the network from potential threats.
