Hide Your SSID? - Comments Page 2

I have setup my router using WPA key and also changed the router admin password. Recently I discovered something and want to check with you for advice. If I type 192.168.0.1 from IE (this is common DLINK router address) I will be allowed to login to my router with "admin" as user-ID and spaces as password. It doesnt let you change any settings (becuase incorrect pswd), but it lets browse through router settings, where one can easily read WPA key (WPA key is not *** here).

EDITOR'S NOTE: Something is wrong with your router software if you can see all that without logging in. You might try doing a factory reset, then setting passwords for all defined users on the router.

Hi Bob,
Recently Comcast has upgraded my service by doubling the speed. I have a Netgear RP614 router in line and when I go directly through the cable modem I can pickup the hi speed, when I add the router in-line (I left it in-line for safety sakes) it drops back down to original speed I started with. I don't know how to reprogram the router for the higher speed if need be. I have pulled the power to both devices for reset to reinstall them, but, to no gain in speed. Could I be walked through this procedure or due I need a new router to pick-up the extra speed?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I assume you are wanting the extra protection of the firewall and NAT router. Usually the modem and router are combined in one box. Are you sure your cable modem is not also a router?
