[QUOTE="Victor M, post: 1040673, member: 96560"] I thought about that - perhaps a gizmo device of some sort. I read recently that home routers are being attacked. I thought that it maybe a device because after changing the WPA2 passwords, I pinged that machine and still got a reply. Now maybe I didn't wait long enough. I decided to shut down the WiFi instead. No reason. I forgot that even long passwords can be brute forced. Now I haven't tried brute forcing my own router. I read somewhere on Wired ( I think ) that brute force is quite fast nowadays. And that you can setup a couple of fast machines on Amazon or Azure for little money. [/QUOTE]
