Today when I wanted to look at my configuration page to check that WPS was disabled I typed in 192.168.0.1 and the address bar showed me a 192.168.0.1/advancedsetup_admin.html so I clicked on it.
It brought me to the login page where the Admin User Name: was already filled in with the name trent. I assumed maybe the kids friends or something had tried to log in, but I have a nice long password and trent is not the admin user name so I wasn't concerned.
I deleted trents name and password, typed in my own hit enter and looked around at my settings and nothing seemed amiss. I went about my web surfing and then later went back to the same log-in page and there was trent and a password all filled in again. I thought this strange indeed so I went in and changed my password to something even longer and saved it again.
Back to the log-in screen and there is trent again! I can log in just fine with my user name and password but it sure seems odd. Even a reboot doesnt clear it.
Any ideas? It seems that The Actiontec q1000 WPS is particularly susceptible to hacking because many of them all use the same WPS key. Could this be the issue? Any ideas for me to check?
