livinthailandos Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Yeah I know that sounds a little odd but here goes the details, All of this happened tonight Infront of my own eyes while being online and using my router, my wireless router went default on me everything from: DNS Settings SSID name Channel Password Security Type all went back to default status / factory settings. It basically reset itself. So any ideas here or did someone hack my router, just to note I was running on WPA2 and disabled SSID broadcasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trogers Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Probably a fault in your router or its firmware. A hacker will not reset the router if he can already get through. The hacker will spend his effort extracting info from your comp and installing further malware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaimite Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) I have to agree with Trogers. If a hacker can get inthen he would never reset the router, because that would lead to his disclosure, and also when you reinstated your settings you may chage the password undoing any work he had done beofre. By any chance do you ave a Linksys router? I have seen my WRT350N do that several times in the past, but not recently Edited December 9, 2009 by thaimite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
