[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1040677, member: 99014"] It sounds easy-peasy but it really isn’t. There is another explanation. Exploit is one. Another one I could think is neighbour/guest. Maybe they saw a sticker with the password and took a picture. Brute forcing is really time consuming and still doesn’t guarantee that encryption will be cracked as well. Additional time and tools will be invested for the sake of getting your information. You can try temporarily use VPN (other than Nord maybe) which will add one more layer of encryption. Question is, are you able to use another VPN? If attackers really want to get your information they will perform additional steps that will ensure that you can’t communicate to VPN servers. If your router is somehow compromised as you believe, then connections via ethernet aren’t safe either. If the router is heavily compromised, think about purchasing another one and preferably one that gets constant firmware updates. If you have recently purchased this one, you may be able to return it. I would contact the router manufacturer immediately without further ado.
