- Update the device firmware with all relevant security patches.
- Reset all IoT device settings to their defaults before connecting to a live network.
- Record the administrative credentials on the login plate in case you forget them.
- Change all default administrator credentials.
- Ensure all IoT devices are isolated to a single broadcast domain.

In addition, default administrator credentials on these devices should always be changed from the default settings because these settings are publicly known.
