That's the danger of not altering the default log-in details to a name and password of your own choosing.


Has the router not got a physical factory reset button which would let you gain access to it by the default log-in details and set it up again and this time password-protect it.

-- answer removed --

ZebUK, apart from reiterating what I have already written about the reset button you are then presumably referring to the WEP encryption which is not as secure as WPA but in any case will not prevent the other person from logging in to this router and taking it over again unless he makes the web page login secure.


If he does not do this, there is nothing to prevent the other person typing in the web page number, then type in the default log-in details and then change all the settings again and finally password-protecting the log-in and locking him out again.


Solely encrypting the Wifi connection access will not prevent this.
