#1 Since ISP's offer home and small business connections at 4+ MPS now, and hackers know many such used routers once setup are seldom checked. Hackers know they and added safety margin in using theses as a relayed step in their endeavors.

So checking router log files daily for:
* Attempted / Failed and successful accesses,
* Outside Router Admin connections,
* DoS attacks and Port Scans,
* New Port Forwarding / Port Triggering settings,
* Unauthorized Wireless access or attempts,
* Log file resets to cover connection tracks?
* and more

NOTE: Many home and small business routers allow for hourly, daily or weekly emailing of the log files and it is worth the 5 mins a day at the least to CYA.

#2 the log files

Much like writing software, making APPS, building web pages...we, the industry, have made networking too easy for the great unwashed. Not 1 in 10/100 home office owner checks their log files.

Who knows how to get to the traffic logs on their cell phone?
