hi, is there a way to access router 192.168.1.1 if i have set mac-filter on and forgott to add my IP, is there any other way then holding a pen behind the router for 10 - 30 sec ? please if anyone could help me - thanks.
since mac-filter is on i can not access even with cable. and my question was if there is any way i can reset without holding a pen behind the router for 10 sec ?
Do you know the mac addresses in the list of allowed mac's? If yes, did you try and spoof those mac addresses?
I find that odd, because as far as I was aware, and with good reason, MAC filtering prevents remote access by unauthorized parties. Where as MAC filtering for Ethernet.. If they have local access, what's the point? They could hit the reset button. On top of that if you have local access, you probably have access to one of the allowed machines, where you can view the MAC and spoof it with another machine. But oh well, thanks for letting me know.
No, that's not true at all. Why are you so hesitant to reset the router? If you had 100s of computers connected, I might see your problem - but then if you had a bunch of computers, it seems you could access the router with one of them. It makes no sense to me to be able to reset the router remotely - that seems like a HUGE security risk.
