I have 2 routers in my home: in the basement i have my main Verizon Fios router and i installed another Trendnet router on the 1st floor which is wired to the main router by a patch cable. i have ipads, iphones and an nexus 6 smartphone which runs Android.<br />
i don't get reliable internet connections on any device and a lot of times it just disconnects altogether.<br />
i think it has to do with security settings on the routers. i don't know which ones to use. i just want a good connection.<br />
can anyone recommend routers security levels so that all devices work?<br />
thank you<br />

security level for home wifi

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
