This topic interests me because I had a wireless router setup on my home system and never bothered to password protect it on the assumption that only a computer wired to the router could program it. I have since taken it down. Can it be programmed thru a wireless connection?
I ask now because I have connected to an open access router accessible from my home but not on my network, and when I looked at my Network Places, I found a description of the router I connected to and in the Properties I found the program address for that router, along with its MAC address. I don't want to experiment by trying to get into its programming just to see if I can. That could be interpreted as an attack and get me into trouble.
I just want to know so when I set up my network again I'll take the right measures to secure my system.
