    How do you know that?

     

    Tell us more.

     

    Remote access via ReadyCLOUD is hard to get it to work even when you want it to happen. Difficult to see how someone could break into a remote device.

     

    What Netgear router do you have?

     

    Are you seeking help of some sort?
