Nighthawk RAX45 Router Hacked?
My SSID was changed to Bernie_RAX45 from the name I gave it. I did a master reset and it went back to Netgear##, but it no longer allows me to log in with the app or access the internet.
Yes, I tried to do a complete me install. Part of the problem was our ISP was down. So we only had a local network but no internet. It's working now. I still don't know how the SSID got changed?
It looks to be part of the firmware that is causing the name to be changed to that not someone hacked your router and changed the name I have reported this to the engineers.
