AFAIK, the R7000 doesn't have an ssh server.  To be safe, you should reinstall firmware to wipe out anything that may have been installed by a hacker.  You should install the latest firmware in order to pick up the fix for the big security vulnerability that was publicized last week.  Download the firmware here.

If you can't login a Factory Reset may be the only way.  This will unfortunately erase all your settings as well.

Hi Clithes,
I had tried factory rest but ssh server on my r7000 still be enabled. Does ssh server default setting enabled? Or someone hacked my r7000 and enabled ssh (dropbear ssh server)
