How to add new view at the top of an existing view in Android?

Is my router hacked or just dumb?

  • Hey, so I recently reset my router and I started seeing ip addresses that were connected to my network that I don't know. First some sorta host called android something connected to my network, I blocked it and it never bother me again. Recently two new addresses used my network. They both are static and both start with 192.168.1. Could it be that I'm being hacked and that the IPs are being spoofed? because all the devices on my network have the ip starting with 192.168.1.x. I tried blocking the MAC address because when I blocked the ip address, the device was still active and connected to my network. I washable to block the first MAC address; however...to my annoyance, the device was still connected and active. I tried to block the MAC address of the second one but when I tried to add it, the address wouldnt even add. Neither IPs have host names. I also tres to view my security log. An 'unknown host' was logging in as admin and changing security settings. Also a device with 192.168.1.7 was logging in. When I view my network, no device with that address was listed. I'm worried that I'm being hacked but at the same time, I'm wondering if these are actually my own devices or something weird but innocuous since they all begin with 192.168.1 (unlike the android host--that ip traced to Georgia and to Chicago...) I'm using a verizon router with WEP...the reason for that instead of WPA2 is because my iPod is not compatible with it and also the KEY needs to be longer which sucks. Please help, and if ur gonna answer this question...please actually know what your talking about because i don't want to end up letting in a hacker or blocking some important device. Thank you. Also, i think my router is probably officially FUBAR since it's saying that one of my iPod that I know is not connected is connected....or maybe it's seriously hacked

  • Answer:

    I think your router was hacked because you said you see a ip address that you don't know and you need to secure your wireless router Here is the step below Connect your wireless router per the instructions in your user manual. Open your Internet browser and enter the IP address assigned to your router. Major manufacturers assign different default IP addresses to their routers. For example, Netgear routers use 192.168.0.1 while Linksys uses 192.168.1.1. Consult your manual for details. Log in to your router configuration by typing the username and password specified in your manual. Set your Service Set Identificatier (SSID) by typing it into the box. This is the name of your wireless network. Make it a unique phrase; the default SSID is usually the name of the router manufacturer, such as Netgear or Belkin. Set your wireless network's security protocol to WPA 2.0 -- Wi-Fi Protected Access. This encrypts any data sent over the network and allows access only to users who have the security key. Set your security key as something not easily guessed. A string of random numbers and letters is recommended. Be sure to record this security key in a safe place so you can recall it when adding a new device to your network or changing network security settings.

Well think, do you have a security key? If not, people from your neighborhood may be on your Internet. And since they live close, you should have a few letters start the same. If the iPod was connected to the modem before, it may show it still is. I don't think your getting hacked, unless someone just really hates you.

The easiest ways to deal with this is to first change your SSID and Password. If you reset your Router, it means you also reset your SSID and PW to default, leaving you open to just about anyone who wants to connect to your LAN. After that, clear your log files, and go to the Status Panel (or wherever your IP release button is). Release and Renew your IP address several times, just in case you're getting nailed by scanbots. Once that's done, use your MAC Filter (under the Wireless Panel) to only Permit your own network devices to access your Router/LAN. After adding your own device MAC addresses, anyone else trying to login or connect to your LAN will either get an error, or an unending login attempt screen. If they're connected already, it'll disconnect them immediately. There are 2 settings for MAC Filtering, Permit and Prevent. MAKE SURE you've got it set to PERMIT before you save the settings; if you set it to Prevent, you'll lock yourself out of connecting to your Router, and you'll have to do a hard reset and enter all your settings again. If your Router has a Backup Configuration feature (usually in the Administration panel) backup your current settings before you setup your filter, just in case.....
