Ok, heres the situation I live in an apartment complex of about 100 units packed close together. I have a WRT54G v4.0 router running off channel with WPA2 protection. I have 5 computers hardwired on to the network (yeah my apartment looks like a wiring cabinet) with one dedicated machine that acts as a file server 24/7 with network drives. Recently we had a power outage and I of course reset all of my clocks, but didn't think to check my wireless security settings. Turns out my router decided to clear itself and come back online with factory settings. In the process it left all of my network drives with all of my network drives and computers accessible to any schmo with a "G" card for about 3 or 4 days before I noticed. When I finally did notice I pulled my DHCP list to find 7 other computer names aside from mine listed. Nice.
My question is...
Is there a way to flash the router's settings directly into the firmware so this doesn't happen again? If not is there was way I can password lock my network drives without the use of 3rd party software? All of the computers in my apartment run XP pro or XP x64.
