| no no. Before it lost its mind, i did have WEP going.
My mention of factory default is because it mysteriously returned to an IP of 192.168.40.1 with no wireless security.
For the sake of argument, let's say somebody did "crack" the WEP key, and logged in to the AP (using the default admin/motorola, i will admit  ) And did a factory reset through the web interface.
How would that explain a new, non-motorola prefix, MAC address?
I don't really feel like doing it just now but I assume the factory reset doesn't give a new MAC? ... Macs are meant to be "permanent" (i know that in reality they are just a few bits stored in nvram these days but, still)
Anyways, the notion that somebody cracked and hacked just that AP given the variety of wireless junk I've had running in this spot off and on for years is plausible but extremely unlikely. |
| You are correct, a "Factory Reset" should not affect the MAC... Like you said, the MAC prefix for this manufacture is 00-0C-E5 (some of the newer units have a different prefix)... Something weird happened... |
