Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking.– Community BotSep 7, 2021 at 8:14

Apologies, in laymen's terms, we have a tenant on the property whom has his own nbn connection with modem/router (several set-up) however he keeps accessing my devices, changing my passwords, turning of my cameras and God knows what else. How can I protect myself and/or stop this? He's a self named "pro hacker"– SpideySencesSep 7, 2021 at 8:21

This is beyond the ability of remote people in a QA forum. You need to hire local professionals who can inspect your systems and secure them.– music2myearSep 9, 2021 at 3:31

If you are talking about your home or office WIFI router, then you should take a follow up of following few points:
Change the default IP Address scheme of the modem/router Change the default username / password details and apply a complex one. You should check for the different access methods like telnet/ssh, these should be disabled. Some of the devices have option for VPN creation and connectivity, you should also disable that, if someone anonymously configured that.
Above said points are necessary to make your router secure. Additionally, you can reduce the No of users (DHCP) in the device and also the range of WIFI router.

1Might be wise to also force-logout any online data structures - Google, iCloud etc & change passwords there too.– TetsujinSep 7, 2021 at 8:32
