can the router settings be changed by virus? If it is secured by ISP
Boggin:
In some areas, separate modem and routers are still used by ISPs but they are gradually moving over to modem/router combos where you just have one device.
In the UK ISP devices are usually combos.
Terminology is another thing - some people still call their combo routers, modems.
What are you using ?
jraju:
Hi, I am using the terra com modem, on which both bb and wifi settings are configured by the ISP.
Boggin:
Then you would be reliant upon your ISP keeping abreast of things for their firmware updates, but you could contact your ISP to see if your device is up to date.
jraju:
hi, when my son tries to connect thro wifi using his android phone, a security alert he received by avast . On scanning that, it shows Rom O vulnerability found. What is that? Please say, how it would have been possible to affect my router. Is that mean, all the router of this ISP are affected, or a particular machine like mine.
Samson:
Here you go J. Expand the 3rd section "Details". Contact your iSP for any firmware update/ patch.
