I think my #1 recommendation would be keeping up to date with firmware updates, particularly your Router. But try not to make that your only line of defence.
So my top 5 would be:- Check/Update router firmware regularly
- Disable remote access to router config
- Strong router password
- Keep up to date with software updates on everything else.
- Run Anti-virus/firewall on your PC's

You might want to read this https://www.gadgetguy.com.au/five-steps-to-secure-your-iot-home-network-you-need-to/ as it gives five ways to secure IoT. Although I am leaning to putting the new D-Link McAfee router between the gateway and my standard router as the best way.
