Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: detect, during installation of a software program on a computing device, a router coupled to the computing device, wherein the software program is executable by the computing device to initiate a connection to a network provided by an internet service provider via the router based on a security level of the router; receive security settings of the router including a router configuration password, a network access key, and a level of data encryption of the router; detect whether the security level of the router satisfies a threshold security level specified by the internet service provider based on the security settings of the router; in response to the security level of the router not satisfying the threshold security level, modify the security level of the router to satisfy the threshold security level; monitor one or more properties of the connection; and in response to detection of a change in the one or more properties, determine whether the router is connected to a different service provider than the service provider.
