Members techristian Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 Oh I hate that ! Our internet service slowed to a crawl. Then I couldn't even do an ADMIN login, so I had to reset it and set up new passwords. ARGHHH ! This happens about every 6 months. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members E-money Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 You need to secure your router. That old WEP protocol is garbage, you should be using WPA-2 at this point. Most wireless routers have the ability to lock access down to specific MAC addresses. My laptop and my wife's laptop are the only 2 MAC addresses that are able to use my wireless service. I guess somebody could clone a hardware MAC address, but it wouldn't be easy or worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members philbo Posted October 17, 2012 Members Share Posted October 17, 2012 I noticed my internet has also slowed to a crawl... Coincidence? or more Trojans at work? According to this, out of 38 internet servers in North America, 16 are currently down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
