The video tutorial covers essential security practices for SOHO routers, including changing default credentials, updating firmware, and using content filtering. It explains network configuration options like static and dynamic IP assignments, DHCP reservations, and the risks of UPnP. The tutorial also discusses wireless network security, including SSID management and encryption methods, and concludes with port forwarding and network access management.

Why is it important to change the default username and password on a router?

• To make it easier to remember

• To improve network speed

• To prevent unauthorized access

• To comply with manufacturer guidelines

What is a firmware update typically used for?

• Changing the device's color

• Adding new hardware components

• Fixing bugs and adding new features

• Increasing the device's size

What is an allow list in content filtering?

• A list of default passwords

• A list of default usernames

• A list of allowed IP addresses

• A list of blocked IP addresses

How does a deny list function in content filtering?

• Allows all traffic except to specific IP addresses

• Blocks all traffic except to specific IP addresses

• Blocks all traffic except to specific MAC addresses

• Allows all traffic except to specific MAC addresses

What is the purpose of DHCP in a network?

• To assign IP addresses dynamically

• To block unauthorized access

• To filter content

• To encrypt data

What is an IP address reservation?

• A temporary IP address

• An IP address assigned to a guest network

• A dynamic IP address

• A static IP address assigned to a specific MAC address

Why should you avoid using the default SSID for your wireless network?

• It increases the range of the network

• It makes the network more vulnerable to attacks

• It makes the network slower

• It makes the network harder to connect to

What is the difference between WPA2 Personal and WPA2 Enterprise?

• WPA2 Personal uses a pre-shared key, WPA2 Enterprise uses a centralized authentication server

• WPA2 Personal is less secure than WPA2 Enterprise

• WPA2 Personal is faster than WPA2 Enterprise

• WPA2 Personal is for businesses, WPA2 Enterprise is for homes

What is the purpose of port forwarding?

• To encrypt all outgoing traffic

• To block all incoming traffic

• To allow specific external traffic to reach an internal device

• To assign dynamic IP addresses

What is a screened subnet also known as?

• A static IP address

• A dynamic IP address

• A guest network

• A demilitarized zone (DMZ)
