You receive security recommendations based on your protection level. These recommendations inform you about basic network security and suggest actions that you can take to increase your protection level.
For example, you might receive a security recommendation about not using default login credentials for your WiFi network. To increase your protection level, set a new password for your WiFi network. Actions like updating to the latest firmware or setting up a guest network are other ways to increase your protection level.
