Must've been hard, but she did the right thing.

Have you ever asked a pitmaster why they really hold onto a place like that? In my view, it's often not about image or avoiding work. Some keep the shack going for regulars or family history, even if the menu changes. From what I've seen, these spots can mean a lot to the community beyond just serving food. So maybe it's more about keeping a piece of the past alive than anything else.

192.168.0.1 is another common router address people miss. Like patricia_bennett52 said, changing defaults is key, but go further. Turn off WPS because it's easy to hack, and set your guest network to auto-shut off after a few hours. That way, if a gadget gets hacked, it can't just sit there forever. Also, check if your router lets you schedule firmware updates, so you don't forget. Otherwise, your smart toaster might end up in a botnet with your fridge.
