I think that's what is wi-fi sense. I really don't know what it is but you
login with a microsoft account, isaw a blog about this and posted a question
here asking what others thought about it, I got no response so I just
dropped it!

Holger,
Me too, but what you are seeing, as am I when out and
around, is the person's WI-FI network, not their
router/modem. My WI-FI network name can be see, as can
anyone's when in range, but I have a secure password. But,
getting back to my original question to David, and/or list,
how can someone log into my router/modem if not already
inside my network?
Best,
Al

I do not think it happens. I see many user nnames but
without any password no luck.

This is interesting and have heard this argument before.
I get my router through roadrunner. When I logged in to make
changes to my WI-FI name and password I noticed a generic
log in to get into the router. I called them and asked if I
should change the log in to get into the router. They said
no because if a tech needs to come to the home or log in
from the cable office they need the user name and password
or they cannot help trouble shoot. I asked if this presented
a security risk and they said no because you needed to be
inside the network to log into the router. So, how exactly
would someone outside my home log in to the router with a
generic user name and password?
Best,
Al

I always change the SSID and the password as well. The
reason is if you don't do that then anybody driving past
your place will find out what kind of router it is normally
because the SSID tells them that, at this point all they
would require is a list of passwords easily available for
routers and then simply walk write in to your network and
have a field day so to speak.
Safety first young man.

Even though I'm not currently looking for such an animal it
is always good to pick up a tip like this, thank you for
sharing.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to
have evolved from a simpler system that worked perfectly.

Hi:
Purchase the Netgear 4500 router. It has to be one of the
easiest routers I have ever installed. Plug and play and I
was surprised to find out it comes without a software CD.
The web interface is accessible and that's how you set it
up.

Hi all,
I have a Linksys a6500 at home, it is an smart wifi
router,and I am getting some problems with the web interface
of this router. I need a good routher that allows to connect
at least 15 wifi devices multi tasking, , dual band, and
with an UI accessible. It is the most important thing for
me, I am not able to modify the settings in my routehr due
to the accessibility problems.
Any advice?

You don't have to be crazy to run a list like this, but it
