Help With Unprotected Routers
by HalfMadDad from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5D45R)
Hi Everyone
There are two main ISP providers where I live and they are both awful-awful.
I found a third ISP many years ago and I have been happy with them but after all this time, I have now discovered that the routers they have provided me are not password protected and I believe they can be externally accessed. I can set a wifi password but I don't care about that, it is my actual computers I am worried about. I have both cable and dsl routers.
What do you think I should do? I love my ISP and I don't think I can swap out the routers. Should I get a password protected switch ?
Thanks for reading-Patrick
P.S I am running Triquel, Debian and GhostBSD
