Nighthawk X4 R7500 problem with LAN
Hi, I am using Nighthawk X4 R7500 router almost a year without any special problems. But last week something changed. Most of my devices connected by cable were with wrong IP adress, outside defined...
- Hi, until today router is working fine, no problem with IP adresses. So I have no idea what was that. Nothing changed in my network, same devices, same settings. I did not restart firmware, only few restarts during two weeks of mulfunction.
For today we can close the case.
Regards,
Grzegorz
Did you immediately change the admin password after the reset from password to something else hard to guess, but not the same one you were using before the errors started to occur?
no, I not changed password ... why I should do it?
but I will try that ... I have no better idea
The default admin account with password is well known and hackers will use this to log into your router and could be changing it or even loading their own hacked version of firmware.
ok ... now I understand you ... of course when I set up router I changed default password :)
What you think about this IP that are set not local for cable connection, but outside my network, taken from internet provider?
Should be that only router have outer IP ... I can forward to other devices, but I not done it in this case
