I've got a bit of a thinker here.
I (tried) logging into my Vodafone router today to see if I could use beamforming (spoiler, I can't) and I was unable to logoin using the password i had set the routers control panel to use. Bewildered, I had then tried to use the standard password on the bottom of the router, but no dice. Then, after running every password I could think of, I caved and reset my router to factory settings. All seeming well and good, I then started the process of setting everything as it was pre reset. (i.e. changing SSID and password, renaming known devices, reconnecting the router app, etc.) After awhile, I noticed there were 3 users logged in. 2, I would have expected, because I was logged into the control panel using my phone and my laptop, but 3 was unknown to me. I went to change the control panel password and I was succsesful, and went about my merry way. After a few minutes, my session timed out and I had to log in. Using either password i had just created went nowhere, as did the standard password.
Does anyone have any insight? Is it time to burn my brand new router?
