So the installer used that SSID & PW to setup my WiFi network, is that what you are saying? I guess that makes sense. So then the default admin/password took over? I always have logged into my gateways going back to DSL days. I want to be able to access it in case the need arises. I don't wanna be locked out of my own gatway. I am also trying to identify everything on my WiFi net because occassionally I get notified of a new device being added and I have added nothing at that time. I also get a lot of security notices about MyCloud (a WD device that serves as my personal cloud, although WD has ceased supporting it) from Cox saying they blocked access because they saw MyCloud's attempts to access my net as a threat. It is running the latest software and I doubt it is a threat (this threat stuff has been happening over the last year or more). So several things on my net appear only as MAC addresses and I am trying to ID them all.
