Ensuring the security of routers is crucial for safeguarding not only individuals’ data but also the integrity and availability of entire networks. With the increasing prevalence of smart home Internet of Things (IoT) devices and remote work setups, the significance of consumer-grade router cybersecurity has expanded, as these devices and applications often rely on routers in the home to connect to the internet. This report presents the consumer-grade router profile, which includes cybersecurity outcomes for consumer-grade router products and associated requirements from router standards.
