Default Factory reset on its own??

Has anyone witnessed this before?

I am on beta3 firmware came to use the router this morning and it was at factory defaults. The family say they have not touched it which is a concern as I have strong enycyption and passwords set up etc.

If you are using beta firmware, contact support and bug the isssues

Usually router reboots because of power failure or other means on router was flooded by the traffic

I would think if someone went to that trouble the'd make the router thier own or try to leave the least evidence of what happened.

Do you have your router on a surge protector, something had to have affected your router.

Yes unlikely it has been compromised. I will just keep an eye on it for now me thinks.

No surge protector involved.
