p1rat33r Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, I've got a question about router/modem combinations. I live in university housing, and there has been a netgear modem/wireless router connected since I got here. The problem is the password is the same as every other unit in the building, and my neighbors have been leeching my connection for months. I need to kick out my neighbors without screwing over my roommates. The configuration password is something other than default. My concern is that hard resetting the router will erase some important config and I'll be hosed because support is virtually nonexistent from the university or the ISP (each tells me to call the other), and I won't be able to configure the device. So, my question is: Has anyone had experience configuring one of these things? Can I safely default the device to factory settings, or will i lose the ability to connect? This is the model we have, CG814WG: http://www.netgear.com/upload/product/cg81...4wg_12jan07.pdf Edited May 7, 2010 by p1rat33r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netshroud Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 You might lose important info, it depends how it's set up. What about airdrop-ng? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sl45h3R Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Ah right, well, if you have a spare computer lying around, you could boot it up, and then reroute the traffic and filter out all MAC addresses not on your whitelist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFu Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Haha, simple answer, get your hands on another AP, plug into Ethernet and detach the antenna of the Netgear. You could use airdrop-ng, ettercap, ip/port forwarding etc to do all kinds of things, but sometimes the simplest answer is the best.
