Admin password is changed repeatedly!!!

Hi there,

 

My router model is R7000_v1 and has been upgraded to the latest firmware R7000-V1.0.11.208.chk, and has been turned off remote administration.

 

I've flashed Merlin firmware before, but someone hacked in and changed the admin password (very strong) . So I re-flashed the latest Netgear firmware R7000-V1.0.11.208.chk

 

However, my router was still repeatedly hacked and changed the admin password and wifi password (very strong!!!) , no matter how many times I changed the admin password and wifi password.

 

Please note that this is the latest firmware R7000-V1.0.11.208.chk and I has already turned off remote administration.

 

I'm going out of my mind. Can someone please give me some advice?

 

Below is the same question in Chinese.

 

我的路由器型號是 R7000 v1,已經升級到最新固件 R7000-V1.0.11.208_10.2.101.chk ,并且已經關閉了遠程管理。

 

之前曾經刷過梅林固件,由於被人入侵並修改了admin密碼(密碼很强),於是刷了最新的Netgear固件 R7000-V1.0.11.208_10.2.101.chk

 

但是,我的路由器仍然被人反復入侵,被修改了admin密碼和wifi密碼(密碼很强!!!),不論我重新修改了對少次很强的admin密碼和wifi密碼。

 

請注意,已經是最新固件 R7000-V1.0.11.208_10.2.101.chk,并且已經關閉了遠程管理。

 

我快要瘋了,有人可以給一些建議嗎?
