My RXA50 WiFi SSID changed to Netgear68 overnight
Why my RXA50 WiFi SSID changed overnight to Netgear68 ? Has my WiFi router been hacked ?
More likely it factory reset for some reason. Maybe the firmware updated or a power surge triggered it.
Should just be able to run back through setup and be fine.
a backup might be nice for next time (if there is one)

That is usually the the default "out of the box" SSID.
As plemans says, if the thing spontaneously resets itself it will revert to that SSID.
A reset will also revert to the original wifi password and the router password for the browser graphical user interface (GUI).
