Segment your network if your router supports it. Create a separate guest network for visitors and smart home devices (IoT devices are notoriously insecure). Keep your work devices on a primary, more secure network. This isolates potential threats.

Regularly back up important data from your work devices (and personal ones!) to a secure external drive or cloud service. This protects against data loss from hardware failure, malware, or ransomware.
