[QUOTE="Lenny_Fox, post: 859298, member: 82776"] As [USER=61892]@TairikuOkami[/USER] explained it also reduces possible stealing of network capacity by script kiddies snooping your WIFI netwirk. I had not thought about that. The point the guy made from who I copied this was that hackers often use all available IP-addresses with eternal lease time, so you can't see what is wrong / what caused the intrusion. leaving me with only one option: a factory reset. When the hacker has managed to lock you out, he/she also knows what the router make and model is and often simply can get access again using defaults user-id's and passwords. After the reset you might be in a rat race with the hacker again. Also when you don't know what caused, fair chance you did not resolve the cause/problem/leak and the hacker kicks you out in no time again. The lockout time window also gives me the time to set the router up again (after a factory reset), without having to worry about someone trying to get access simultaneously. That is the point of keeping a backdoor and a time slot for yourself open. But, hey I am just parroting what I read from what I thought was an expert. [/QUOTE]
