COMMENT "ROUTER"
Have Claude check your router (your ISP sees everything)
AI can read the settings your Wi-Fi router hides. Pointed at one router, Claude found the internet provider could see every site opened in plain text and reach into the router remotely. Here's how to check your own and lock it down in about 5 minutes. This is about securing your OWN devices.
01Quick steps
- 1Send Claude a photo of your router's settings.
- 2It lists what's leaking, in plain English.
- 3Do the 5-minute fixes (password, encrypted DNS, private Wi-Fi).
- 4Recheck anything it flagged.
02Your ready to use prompt
I'm going to send photos of my Wi-Fi router's settings pages. Read them and list, in plain English, anything that leaks my data or lets my internet provider see or control my connection, and tell me exactly how to fix each one.
03Full tutorial
Your router quietly decides what your internet provider can see and do. Most people never open its settings, so they never know what's exposed.
Type your router's address into a browser (often 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) and log in. Screenshot the main settings pages.
Open Claude, send the photos, and paste the prompt above. It explains what each setting does and flags what's leaking, without the jargon.
If it's still the one printed on the sticker, change it. That sticker password is the easiest way in.
Enable DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH). This stops your provider from seeing the list of sites you visit.
On your phone's Wi-Fi settings, turn this on so your phone stops showing its real ID to every network.
Add _nomap to the end of your Wi-Fi name so Google and Apple stop adding your router to their location maps.
Send Claude fresh screenshots and confirm the issues it flagged are now fixed.
This is for securing your own router, not accessing anyone else's. Not legal or security advice, just a safer setup.
