They tell me stories like: “It keeps booting me every 10 minutes. Another thing that some would say, “Can not get on my wireless because it continues to ask for a password. Then I said:” They never put a password and do not understand why she asks one. “I must say how they were more likely hacked by a neighbor or relative and set the password.

Well, in some routers anyone who is not an element of security startup that has not been identified by an encryption key code. This is why some people continue to start, it’s every ten minutes. But the few people who told me that the new password has been created an entirely different matter all together. After telling a neighbor she was even more confused. They were intrigued by how they could do something like that. I explained how the modem is supplied with default settings.

Each modem comes with the default settings. If you type the IP address of the router (generally 192. 168. 1. 1 modem based) in the address bar of your browser to a record box will appear. It will require a username and password what he believes in looking. Most routers just leave username and blank password by default is admin. Now, if someone can access the Internet via your router, because it is not encrypted, they can also access the router control panel and change things as passwords and logins. Once someone does this to everyone connected to the wireless router is started immediately and asked that the encryption key to connect again. The only way to solve this problem is holding down the reset button on the router as the instructions that you request.

Now, all this can be avoided by simply ensuring that your wireless router is encrypted. I do not want people do not know and trust through your Internet connection. Even if the password is changed, you can still use your Internet connection to commit crimes online or even access to a copy of your sensitive files. If you do not know how to encrypt the wireless network of many sites offering free help with such things.
