On the r8000p there should be a way to block people out of your network. Now if you block a person (on mac -level) unknown to you, they have no internet, but can still snoop around in your network. That is how a neighberhood-kid was able to obtain my registration-code and thus was able to constantly change my wifi-password, making it impossible for my daughter to follow her schooling via the internet. I'm having my router swapped (thanks Amazone) because of course he has this code written down somewhere.

  How can someone get into the controls of your router without knowing the router's login password?

    There seem to be hacker who can get past these passwords I've changed these passwords several times.... he gets hold of it every time. If he gets blocked, he takes revenge by blocking a device or changing the password of the 192.168.1.1. I,ve got him there... but the ultimate security issue netgear could takkle is this issue. I've just given up.... I'm paying for someones internet
