    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.

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.
