Was at a friends place recently and he asked me to set a new WiFi password. Fair enough!
Me: what's the routers login?
He: Oo. No clue.
*me trying a few combinations*
*hmmm not working let's try one more time*
Router: you have entered the wrong credentials five times. Fill in a new password to regain access!

😵😨😧😱😷😲

    Holy smokes! 🤤 On mine, you have push the end of a paperclip to reset the default. Who knew it could be so easy?

    But for this to happen you'd need to know the current WiFi password to be able to connect to the router. Beware who you give your password to

    That's why I have separate SSID for guests, just in case.

    @BugsBuggy That's true but that was a pretty default one based on the SSID as well :/

    @pajaja never used that feature on my router, does it prevent access to router page or just a more restrict measures?

    As long you dont install a key file on your Router, anybody can get physical access to it over the backup password on the back of the Router 😏

    On the other hand you can use IP or Mac filtering.

    @andros705 then you need to have the router somewhere accessible :P you cant just break into your neighbors house and connect your system to his router xD

    @gitpush Depends on how you set it up. Mine is in separate VLAN that has no access to local networks (except for DHCP server)
