[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1040668, member: 57429"] I think the more plausible explanation is that your Wi-Fi router had a public exploit for your model of router, and someone was scanning for exploitable devices and found yours. Not to doubt your suspicions, but is there any reason someone would go to the effort of brute forcing a "20 long gibberish" length password just to get access to your Wi-Fi? If that's the case, you have a lot more to worry about because it would take a huge cluster of servers just to brute force such a long password and it would take many many years. This. Also check for firmware updates from manufacturers site. Reset router>Upgrade firmware> Set new passwords. [/QUOTE]
