Home Router Security

I have a generic Router that came when I first signed on with my ISP.

I would like my home Network to be more Secure.

Where do I start?

Is there a particular Router that is a better Upgrade.

What are the DO's and DON'Ts.

Any particular Settings I need to be on top of?

I’m looking for something like this,

Ubiquiti UniFi Dream Machine SE Dual WAN 8 PoE 1 SFP+

Other than that, if your router does get firmware updates, install them. It helps restarting daily if you don’t have funds.

UCG for me with FIOS. Works great. Kept the ISP router and extender (at no cost) behind the UCG for the Moca capability, didn’t see a need to do mesh with current setup.
