admin\_pass="Complex\!Pass123"

\# 2\. Disable WPS

wps\_enabled=false

\# 3\. Configure WiFi Security

wifi\_security="WPA3"  \# or WPA2 if WPA3 not available

wifi\_password="LongComplexPassphrase\!123"

\# 4\. Change default SSID

ssid\_2g="HomeNet\_2G"

ssid\_5g="HomeNet\_5G"

\# 5\. Disable unnecessary services

upnp\_enabled=false

ssh\_wan\_access=false

telnet\_enabled=false

\# 6\. Configure firewall rules

\# Block common attack ports

iptables \-A INPUT \-p tcp \-\-dport 23 \-j DROP  \# Telnet

iptables \-A INPUT \-p tcp \-\-dport 22 \-j DROP  \# SSH from WAN

iptables \-A INPUT \-p tcp \-\-dport 80 \-j DROP  \# HTTP from WAN

\# 7\. DNS configuration for privacy
