1 TopicMASSIVE SECURITY PROBLEM - Genie Logs Into Neighbor's Router
When I am connected to my network via WiFi and either open up the Genie application, or go to routerlogin.net on a browser, I see a neighbor's R4500, rather than my R8000. When I connect to my R8000 via Ethernet, everything looks like it should. His SSIDs and mine are different. What is more disturbing is that I have admin access to his router and network, and I can see all his devices, as well as my own. I am sure hoping that this doesn't go both ways, and he has admin access to my router and my whole network. I have tried changing my SSIDs, disabling broadcast of them, and rebooting the router multiple times. Nothing fixes this strange and disturbing security breach. What should I do?10KViews1like27Comments
