just my super uber security question. how on earth can you access the router if you dont even know the password that has setup BEFORE logging into the router ?

an outsider can nvr log in unless they know the wpa password.

OMG...... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

just my 2 cents worth..

1. Your router/modem is connected to the internet. rite????

2. So when it is connected..your router must have a public IP ...and this is not your private/internal IP...this IP can be viewed by anyone..even by web administrator of any site, anywhere, anytime unless you managed to spoof your ip everytime your're online.

3. so now...if you dont disable the remote management thingie in your modem and change the default operator or admin password to a better one...ANYONE CAN JUST INPUT YOUR WAN/PUBLIC IP IN THEIR BROWSER AND ACCESS YOUR BELOVED WHITE/ORANGE MODEM AND MESS WITH IT. sorry for the caps...

4. the password with the "@unifi" is your unifi account password.That login/password is definitely safe. The password I AM REFERING is your router password...

5. well nonetheless, the risk of your unifi being messed up is kinda small....prevention is better than cure..=)
