I changed my Wi-Fi name to Syntax Error and made some changes to the configuration. I wanted to disable the admin page at the 2.4Ghz connection, but I got kicked out at 5Ghz as well. So I couldn't log in anymore and resetting the router didn't helped.

So I called the ISP if they can restore it to factory settings, but the guy on the phone didn't understand a thing I said. He said to me: "Sir I don't exactly understand what u say, but I can see an Syntax Error. Do you want me to fix it." And I laughed and I laughed.. I told him that's the Wi-Fi name but ofcourse he didn't got the joke. I called again and got someone else on the phone. He's resetting the router in a one minute call.

Had some fun this morning.

    Y'know... I don't really trust enough ISPs to let them log into my router

    @exelix the router is from the ISP, so they can 'help remotely' when needed. Next step is to buy one my own. Only problem is they can't help when I fuck up haha.

    What @jschmold said.

    Also, the idea of an ISP being able to remote-configure your router is kind of scary.

    @jschmold what can possibly go wrong pressing the reset button haha. I tried it but after the reset the SSID and the password went back to the standard settings, but access to the configuration was denied. So something went obviously wrong.

    @Root
    The idea that an ISP has remotely control of the router is kind of scary ofcourse. I agree with you. My next step is getting a router my own.

    Naming a mobile hotspot "Free WiFi" and configuring a login page showing a trollface image is still the best I had done yet... All the faces were brilliant...

    @jschmold it would be so unfair, if the ISP has full control of your SSID and not your router though...
