Based on WA4OPQ discovery
Hmmm ... continuing this on the open AP.
For giggles, I disconnected my laptop from my LAN, and chose the GW1100's hotspot (which is open), and I was able to connect on the original URL of "
http://192.168.4.1/"
and getting a decent connection of
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::d1fb:df37:2d43:58e7%8
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.4.13
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.4.1
This disturbs me.
Good point out WA4OPQ.
Why does it disturb me, well because there is an open AP from the device, now I haven't gone and changed the AP password, which I will, if I can. But this means your gw1100 is discoverable from its published SSID even when attached to your network . Now, before we all jump through windows, this is a moderate risk, but I don't know what coupling is behind that AP and the connected LAN. At a minimum, I would like to change the AP pwd for the device.
Appears one can , make sure to set the pwd on
http://192.168.4.1/deviceSetting.htmlIt seems to put a pwd on the SSID and the website config.
I just did a minimal test, I would really suggest everyone do more.
