can the router settings be changed by virus? If it is secured by ISP
jraju:
Hi, No. Please see the date of the thread . It is long ago. I am not getting any spam.
I only point out one thing. If you log on to a session of infected ip, then you get different results from Netalyzer. I wrote to them about this , and expecting reply. If i receive , i will share.
I have checked all the access points, and noted that it is from service providers. But there is a problem in the router. Hence this thread.
I do not get any spam emails.Only from known sources.
Thanks for all the advices from you and samson.

Well, if you are concerned about the vulnerability of your router or you are still unable to log into it and finances permit it, then I would advise getting something else.

I take it , what you say may mean that you could save the cfg file in your computer as a file and if you want to restore , you could browse to the location from the router page. Is that correct?I will try that
But accessing that page, and mere save would not , try to save the settings as was done by the configurer when he reset my modem and entered fresh entries . That was a query to you in my earlier post.

Yup, it is a backup, that can restore the settings. As with all backups it is snapshot of a particular time, so if you took one at the time when he reset and entered fresh entries, then you could revert to that point in time.
How much did BSNL charge for this device? You could get a Netgear D500 for Rs 1000, not an all singing and dancing router/ modem combo, but my guess is it would be more reliable than what you have.

Hi, Please also seen from two results of the netalyzer by boggin would prompt me to say again, that one reading shows some aberration, while the last , without any aberration all in green only denotes that the log in session is important to the result. I will give the reply if i receive from that organisation.
In his earlier result, some concern, though minor has been given. In his second result recently, he has posted a clean green, without any concern oks.
I think he has also dynamic ips.
I already took to the note of my ISP, of what precautions they are taking to give us secured experience both on bb and wireless. They say they are escalating the issue to the top authorities.i also visited the other site by shane, and found so many tools . But i could not get to know the things to manipulate. That site reveals too much technicalities that could be understood only by engineers. For eg, i tried his toool port reading. I do not know , what i have to give as input in port. without clicking next gives error page.
I think that his software also has auto router updates, without you going to the usual procedures to the router access point. YOu could easily update. I became member of that forum also.
Shane, i think that you need more than 24 hours for all these sharings and free downloads, which few sites would allow for free

Hi,
I tried avast free laptop. It also alerts vulnerabilities in my terracom router in rom 0 position. I further expanded the results, that the router is not configured correctly to by pass this vulnerability. But one thing, avast has free secure line enabled in free version.
Yesterday i tried the same tool Boggins suggested. There was no major aberrations and only minor aberrations. My session ip , shows as not having any major defects, 95 percent green oks.
So, I wish to make it clear that the logon session ip has more to do with router risk than any body else. If you log on to a ip, not infected, then you are safe. Otherwise, the risk at the time of login increases.
So, is there any immediate command or tool to auto detect this and so we could as well power off our pc for some time to login to the next session to pray HIM to give the good ips.
