Remotely hack into my own router?
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2011 4:46 pm
This is a long shot.
I am overseas on holiday. One of my home machines seems to have shut itself down for some reason. I would like to access my router to try and restart the machine with wake on lan.
Unfortunately I'm not sure and don't think I have set up any sort of remote access admin rights on my router (are there any set by default?). I have gargoyle running on a linksys wrt54gl.
I know my external ip address and router login and password.
Is there any way I can get into the router, preferably access the gui and then try restarting my machine with wol?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
