Does anyone have an idea as to how, or why, my Linksys WRT54GS v5.0 Wireless Router would suddenly revert to factory default settings on it's own?
All was fine last night. Today, no connection, and it took almost an hour to figure out that every setting reverted to out-of-the-box defaults. Logon password, encryption key, port forwarding, SSID name, etc. It's unlikely someone accessed it as the logon password was changed and the SSID wasn't being broadcast. I know, I know, that doesn't mean that it wasn't hacked, but that, plus my location, makes it unlikely.
There was no power failures, spikes, or brownouts. (I have other devices to monitor that) and it has been working fine since, but I wonder if something is failing in the router...
Fortunately, I had saved the settings so it only took a few seconds to get all back to normal.
Has anyone else run across this?
Thanks
