When I contracting work are the cable companies a while back, I noticed that the majority of people with wireless routers, they have encrypted. They would tell me stories like: “It keeps me booting every 10 minutes or so”. Another thing, some would say, “I can not get on my wireless, it keeps asking for a password.” Then they would tell me, “You have never been a password and do not understand why for an” ask. I would tell them how they probably hacked by a neighbor or someone was in the vicinity and set up the password.

Now for some routers there is a safety feature, the boat any person who is not registered with a key code. This would be the reason why some people always booted every ten minutes on hold. But the few who told me that the new password was set an entirely different problem all together. After a neighbor she has confused her even more. They were, as they could do something at a loss. I explained to them how the modem comes with default settings.

Each modem comes with default settings. If the router IP address (usually 192nd 168th is displayed according to a first modem) in the address bar of your browser to a log in window. You need a pass word and login name, so you think, by the search. Most routers just leave the login and admin password is blank by default. Well, if someone is able to access the Internet through your router, as it is not encrypted, they can also access the Control Panel to change the router and things like passwords and logins. Once someone does this, each connected to the wireless router will be started immediately and asked for the keys to log in again. The only one way to fix this is by using the reset button on the router as the instructions to ask.

Now, does all this by simply making sure your wireless router is encrypted, can be avoided. They do not want people you do not know and trust with your Internet connection. Even if it does not itself change the password, they can still use your Internet to commit crimes or even copied online access to your sensitive files. If you do not know how you encrypt your wireless network There are many sites that offer free help with this kind of things to offer.
