The model number printed on the router (which
doubles up as tv signal decoder) is 3800HGV-B.
Router was supplied by att.
Yes I do have admin access.
In fact I was told by my brother in law that an att
rep came and messed with it, and had to re-program
it from remote (i.e. att customer service HQ could
do whatever they did, without knowing the password
I had set up for the admin account on the router.
When I arrived several days later, I checked to see if
the passwd was altered. It was not. I checked to see
if the list of allowed mac addresses was altered. It
was not. And checked to see of the enc was changed
away from wpa2_Personal/AES  it was not.
The router's fw drops all connection requests coming
from the outside.
So, it was not clear to me just what they did do. My
bro-in-law is no computer or network techie, and
I was not present at the time they had made the service
rep had come in and asked HQ to do  something.
