Brute-force on my WIFI

Alecs — Sat, 26 Dec 2020 09:37:14 GMT

Hello, in the last days I have checked my router for events and it looks that someone is brute-forcing my wifi. I know that I can't do anything but this will affect my router (in the sense of spikes,lag, etc)? In the last few weeks the internet it's working a little bad I have a lot of spikes when I'm playing online games with my friends. Find bellow my log that is non-stop with 2-3 tries per second. I have set my wifi to accept only what MAC addresses I allow. It is only this MAC for the moment.

12/25/2020 21:28:12 STA not included in Accept Address List : <WG-MAC=4c:12:65:***>;<STA-MAC=cc:af:78:00:00:00>;<IF=wlan0_0> Wi-Fi

Thanks,

Alex

Could it be your mobile phone or tablet? The OUI (first 3 bytes of the MAC - identifying the manufacturer of the [wireless] network chip) is registered to FoxConn - typically producing WLAN chipsets for mobile equipment.

My devices are registered with MAC address to be able to connect to wifi. 100% is not my device, I checked and I don't have any device with this MAC. For sure some neighbour it's trying something 😄

Hello Alecs,

the modem data in the upstream are not ok.

A technician should take a look at this on site. Would that be okay and will the colleague come with you to the house installation? The cause seems to be in our area of responsibility. In this case, the service is free of charge for you. If the technician does not meet anyone at the agreed time and cannot gain access, we will charge 99.50 € for the service.

Under which phone number can the colleague make an appointment with you?

Due to the current developments we have to take certain precautions. Therefore we need to know if there are any symptoms in your household that could be related to Covid-19. Of course we don't want to offend you, but on the other hand we don't want to endanger more people unnecessarily.

Greetings Moni

Hello Moni,

Thank you for checking this problem. There is no Covid19 infection as we tested this Monday and the result was negative. I will send you via PN my phone number to make the appointment. Me and my wife will be at home as we are working from home, thank you again!

Hi Moni,

I have access to the basement and to this 3 "metal boxes". (looks like I can attach only 1 picture, there is one more box with a label from another internet company).

I don't have access to the elektroraum. Probably if I contact the owner I can receive the keys but only if it's needed.

Hello Alecs,

please contact me when you have asked the property management. Then we will assign the technician.

Hello Moni,

I have discussed with the property management and they said that Vodafone has a special key and they should be able to have access to this amplifier. I will just need to open the door to the basement. I think now we can make the appointment right?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alecs,

the values on the router are completely clean again. Do you still notice disturbances?

Greetings Moni

Alecs — Thu, 20 May 2021 10:23:26 GMT

Hi Moni,

In the event log there is still the same problem (see picture attached).

Regarding latency spikes etc I will need some time to figure out if this is solved. What is strage is that after I reboot the router, usually this problem is solved for 1-2 days, then is starting again to work bad. Maybe a firmware upgrade could solve this, or to change the router?

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alecs,

I think we change the router. All right?

Hi Moni,

For me it's ok to change the router.

What does this mean for me? Would there be any costs? What is the procedure?

Best Regards,

Alex

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for taking care of this.

Can you give me more details to where I should send the old device once I receive the new one?

Thanks, Alex

Re: Brute-force on my WIFI

Claudia — Tue, 25 May 2021 07:39:17 GMT

Hello Alecs,

Hi Claudia,

Thank you for your reply, I have found all the details in the received box.

I would like to know one more thing. On the retour document it says that we should keep the accessories but we don't use them. Should I send them together with the "defect" router or should we keep them? What happens if we send now all the accessories and when the contact ends, we have to return the new router but we don't have the accessories anymore? (we received the new one only with the power supply).

Thanks,

Alex

Hello Alecs,

Yes, the exchange is without accessories. If you do not need it, send it back with pleasure. Important are modem and power supply.
