My experience with Router..

My recent expereince with DSL router is worth describing. My campus have a wi-fi network. The signals at my home are not so strong so it gets disconnected very often. So a way which I use to check that I am connected to the net or not is by using the ICMP protocal . I use to ping google.com

ping -t google.com

(Some might think that by seeing the icon below is enough but it is not the thing to be relied upon)
Now the problem with speed. Many freinds of mine are very creuel in a way they always used to download something thus heavily affecting the speed.

So now I decided to somehow gain access to the DSL router to change the setting thus denying them the net connection.

But there was a problem i didn't had the access to that router. That what I thought. But neglecting this fact I opened 192.168.1.1 and it asked me the authentication which i had not. (you can also have access to the router through global ip). On the same day I was reading an article on wireless security. There i came to know that 80% router have default username and password both as admin and admin. I tried it and bingo!! i have access to that router. Now I can do that whatever I wanted.

The WEP key to the wireless was also visible and and i can change it!!. But in doing all this I enabled the MAC filter and i had to wait for 3 days to fix t out. But at last it was a good experience....
