Password no longer required to Login

When using a web broswer (from a PC or smartphone connected via wired or wireless LAN) I can log into my router with out entering a password.

Is there a security setting I am missing?

I changed the password and made sure the broswer did not remember it but I can still login with out a passwrd.

Router Model R7900 firmware ver 1.0.1.4

I am concerned that my router settings could get changed by anyone connected to my LAN.

Wireless Access still requires password.

 

Thanks for any help on this.

    After I disabled my ReadyCloud account the problem was solved.

    No resetting of defaults or reloading firmware required.

      Interesting. What made you try that? Inspiration or guesswork?

       

      Well done.
