Just realized I was setting up my home network all wrong for years

I was helping my nephew with his laptop last month and he asked why my Wi-Fi had such an old security type. I was still using WPA2 Personal, which I set up back in 2018, and never thought to change it. It hit me that I hadn't even looked at my router settings since I first plugged it in. I've now switched to WPA3 and feel way better about it. Has anyone else had a moment like this with their own home setup?

My old router was still on the default admin password for like five years. I finally logged in last year and saw a list of a dozen devices I didn't even own that had tried to connect. Updating that stuff feels like changing the locks on your front door, you just gotta do it.

Forget the locks, you gotta change the whole door lol.

I used to think it was fine to just set it and forget it.
