DD-WRT firmware can be installed on many routers. It does not support
WPS, and defaults for other things are more secure. For one thing, uPnP
defaults to off.

Nobody said anything about wifi - that is an option a router doesn't
have to have


It's a security hole. If you don't need it, it should be turned off if
present. I know of some people who have routers with WiFi, never use
WiFi, and leave it on (and maybe even without security).
