It was a nice day in Santa Cruz until the cell phone rang announcing
that one of my coffee shop wireless customers has a malfunctional
wireless router. I asked them to "reset the router" by pulling the
plug, waiting a while, and plugging it back in. When that didn't
work, I drove over to see what was happening.
For the 2nd time in as many weeks, the router appeared to have been
reset to the default settings. I reloaded the saved settings, changed
the password in case it had been leaked, and interrogated all the
employees. Eventually, I found the culprit. To this person, "reset
the router" means punch the reset button. He did, and for a long
enough hold time to clear all the settings to defaults. To insure
maximum damage, the DSL modem has also been reset to defaults, which
required putting it back into the bridging mode.
I put some electrical tape over the reset button hole. That should
slow them down, a little, maybe.
Better to replace the wireless router with something more suitable for a
commercial environment. ;)
