I think I've been screwed over..... (1 Viewer)

Updating the firmware on the MR814 needs you to login to the router's web interface, which he doesn't have the password to. Even if it is updated, I'm sure his dad is smart enough to have backed up the settings beforehand and restored in as explained in the firmware upgrade readme.

Oh i see.
Well, on my router, there is a little rubber button at the back, which when you press resets to "factory defaults". ?

Just a tiny bit obvious =p

You could fake a power outage while he's at work to cover your tracks!

The settings are stored the same way as the BIOS on the motherboard -_-"

.....by my dad.

We got a router for our net a while ago...except now my dad has taken too many pills and the admin powers over the router have gone to his head. So far his banned the following words from addresses which means if any address has ANY of the following words in it it automatically gets block...here they are:

Sex ( and other similar type words, i don't mind about that)
Picture ( WTF!?!??!)
Gun
Baby
Girl
Game

Now the only way i can see around it, and the thing i do when im desperate, is to just disconnect myself from the router and directly plug it into the cable modem but it is a tiring and annoying proccess. Other options, which are not easily doable include :

-Finding out his password (not possible to unban words considering he gets logs of the addresses accessed by everyone through the router...not sure if he reads it but)
- Reset the router. (Slightly obvious)
- Find some backdoor program so i can change the settings.

Well thats about it. But the most annoying thing is that he blocked the Ftp ports as well which means to update my site I have to use http ftp...if that makes sense. For example http://www.01ftp.com and with major updates its a pain in the ass as well. I'm pretty sure his blocked SMTP as well so again, for my site, instead of being able to use outlook like any normal person i have to use crappy http with crappy interface.

I'm screwed aren't I? -_-'

BTW my router is a Netgear Cable/DSL wireless router with 4 port 10/100 Mbps swith MR814b

lol poor you.. i'm lucky mine dosn't touch my pc or do stuff to the computers.. my bro does everything and he wouldn't do that..

If your dad sees this thread, the next word on the ban list will be 'bored'

Here! A 3 Step process. Hopefully Step 1 will be all that is necessary.

Step 1:

use netnanny against him.

install your own evasive software on the router or his computer. make sure to include all key business words including but not excluding, "PARADIGM, TPS REPORTS, LAXATIVES, GELATINE, OFFICE PAPER, DESK, CHAIR, WALNUT, TOOTHPICK, BOSS, GEOFFREY, EVERY WORD WITH THE LETTER E!".

Password protect the software and give him an ultimatum: Your choice of dinner or your money back.

Or better yet, use this compromising position to negotiate a deal with him regarding free internet use. Explain to him your youthful needs for hardcore pornography and the need for know-how re: explosives. He will understand.


Step 2:

If Step 1 fails, warn him that if you don't get your daily fix of naked computer women, you're going to start making the moves on his woman! (Step 3 gets messy)

hahahahah.
