I would start right there. If you can't get firmware updates, get rid
of it and replace it. Preferably with something that runs OpenWRT or
similar, or do careful research for a manufacturer that takes security
seriously. 

Most cheap routers have terrible security, some come with backdoors out
of the box [1]

There seems to be a trend towards bad actors targeting and taking over
routers, so this is a very real risk.

1. My router did, but I never used it with anything besides OpenWRT:
