Harden Compromised Home WiFi Network

Job ID: 40162045

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

My home Wi-Fi was recently breached and I can still see unfamiliar devices connecting even after I changed the password. I need an experienced network-security freelancer who can jump in remotely, pinpoint how the unauthorized access is happening, and lock the network down for good.

Here’s what I expect:
• Run a quick audit of my existing router settings, logs, and connected clients to confirm the intrusion vectors.
• Reconfigure the router with stronger protections—WPA3 where available, hidden SSID if practical, MAC filtering, upgraded firewall rules, and a properly segmented guest network.
• Verify and, if necessary, update firmware, disable insecure services (WPS, UPnP, weak remote-admin ports), and adjust DNS or VPN settings to shield traffic.
• Walk me through each change so I understand how to maintain the setup and spot future red flags.

Deliverables will be:
1. A hardened Wi-Fi configuration applied live.
2. A concise checklist of every change made and why.
3. A brief “next steps” guide I can follow if I notice any new anomalies.

I’ve already changed the password, but I’m looking for a deeper security overhaul—not just advice, actual configuration assistance via screen-share or a secure remote method of your choice (e.g., AnyDesk, TeamViewer). If this sounds straightforward to you and you can start promptly, let’s talk.
