Router security lockdown
Your router may still trust the password it shipped with
Purpose Built AI provides a professional security reset for homes and small businesses. We identify the hardware, review firmware, replace unsafe factory settings, strengthen Wi-Fi and administrator access, review WPS and remote management, separate guests and connected devices where supported, and leave you a written recovery record.
- Home $199 one time
- Business $750 one time
- Written record you keep
- Thirty-day window on our changes
We work only on networks you own or are explicitly authorized to manage. We do not intercept third-party traffic, recover other people's passwords or use customer networks as security experiments.
What it costs
Published prices, and a clear line around what is included

Router Care
An ongoing review service for businesses that have already completed the lockdown.
- Verified device inventory
- Monthly manufacturer advisory and firmware review
- Quarterly configuration verification
- One annual credential-rotation session
- Written change record
- Priority response to router-security notices
Both lockdowns are one-time services with the scope listed above. If your site has more hardware than the tier covers, we tell you before the appointment and quote the difference in writing. Router Care is available after the business lockdown and is billed monthly.
What the appointment looks like
Four steps, then a document you keep
We confirm authorization
Before anything is touched, we confirm you own the network or have authority from the owner. For business sites that confirmation is written and kept on file.
We identify the hardware
Model, hardware revision and current firmware, for every router, gateway or access point in scope. Some older hardware is past the point where the manufacturer still issues fixes, and you will hear that from us plainly.
We replace the unsafe defaults
Factory Wi-Fi and administrator credentials are replaced. Encryption moves to WPA3 where the hardware supports it and WPA2-AES where it does not. WPS, remote management, UPnP and DNS settings are reviewed and adjusted.
We hand off the record
You get a written configuration and recovery record with no secrets in it, plus the new credentials handed to you directly. Then a thirty-day window covers the settings we changed.
Router Care
Keeping the configuration honest after we leave
A lockdown is accurate on the day it is done. Firmware changes, manufacturers publish advisories, staff come and go, and devices get added. Router Care is the scheduled review that keeps the configuration matching the record.
- Verified device inventory
- Monthly manufacturer advisory and firmware review
- Quarterly configuration verification
- One annual credential-rotation session
- Written change record
- Priority response to router-security notices
What Router Care is not
Router Care is not 24/7 monitoring and it is not an incident-response retainer. Nobody is watching your network around the clock, and this plan does not commit us to responding to an active security incident.
It is a scheduled review service on the cadence listed here. If you need continuous monitoring or incident response, we will tell you that this is not it.

Frequently asked
Straight answers before you book
Will my internet go down while you work?
There are short restarts. A router reboots when firmware or key settings change, so expect a few brief interruptions during the appointment. We schedule around the times that matter to you and we confirm every device is back online before we finish.
Do I have to give you my passwords?
No. Never send passwords, Wi-Fi keys or serial numbers through the form on this page. Access is arranged at the appointment, and new credentials are handed to you directly at the end of the visit. We do not keep them.
What if something stops working afterward?
Every service includes a thirty-day window for settings we changed. Home service includes a thirty-day correction window and business service includes thirty-day remediation verification. If a printer, camera or smart device needs to be brought back onto the network, that is covered.
Is Router Care the same as monitoring?
No. Router Care is not 24/7 monitoring and it is not an incident-response retainer. It is a scheduled review service: monthly manufacturer advisory and firmware review, quarterly configuration verification, one annual credential-rotation session, and a written change record.
Is this penetration testing?
No. This is defensive configuration work on a network you own or are authorized to manage. We do not test other people's systems, intercept third-party traffic or recover other people's passwords.
What if my router is too old to secure?
You will hear that plainly, with the model and the reason. Some hardware no longer receives manufacturer fixes, and no amount of configuration changes that. We will tell you what the limits are rather than quietly working around them.
