I successfully configured my old (Optilink) modem to connect to my internet connection. So there is the primary modem and then there's the Optilink modem. I have also set a new password to access the modem settings.
Every modem has a reset button which if pressed and held long enough will successfully reset the modem.
My question(s):
Will the password to access modem settings that I set also get reset if the modem is reset? This can be figured by simply resetting it myself. However, I have configured the modem now and I do not want to jinx it again.
If the answer to above is a YES, then pretty much anyone can reset the Optilink modem and change its settings including the WiFi password. What additional security settings can be set to prevent this?
