You're very welcome.

It's a lot more difficult for security analysts than what It Is for hackers. From a security standpoint, you need to Identify every vulnerability, loophole, flaw and poor configuration to secure your network or device. From a hacker's perspective, all you need Is one vulnerable gateway (that was perhaps missed or overlooked), and you're In.

WOW!!! thank you so much, i appreciate this and i will look into it ... Thanks bro

network cloaking is disguising your network to look normal and to put fake devices under it etc.

I'm not a professional in this topic but I have witnessed some risks public/private networks may have.

I was told by a few security professionals to make sure you disable Upnp.

The reason being is because UPnP doesn’t require any sort of authentication from the user. Any application running on your computer can ask the router to forward a port over UPnP, which is why any malware can abuse UPnP. You might assume that you’re secure as long as no malware is running on any local devices but you’re probably wrong. I was also told UPnP can make wholes in your network by opening certain ports without you knowing.

Start by disabling WPS. It's very insecure, and its enabled by default on most routers. Also, make sure you use WPA2-AES for your wifi as well.

thanks bro ... and yeah!!! its really insecure ... i personally don't use it or recommend the use of it to anyone ... WPA2-AES is not that secure but its good enough for the time being ...
