1349714 2013-07-24 23:21:00 Hi Guys
Are there any wifi access points/routers that cant be easily reset via that little button (in the wee hole at the back)
I think I have an issue at a clients with a wifi Access point being reset to defaults by someone , this is in a common room type area.

A Unit that cant be easily reset may be needed, as I can see this will be an ongoing issue in the future. Anyone have any recommendations ??

Additionally, you could make yourself a little siren circuit with a small speaker, hide it inside the router and hook the button up to that instead... could be interesting!

A glass cage or mounting it high up on the wall may be the way to go.

Would be my thought too, otherwise something like this (www.gowifi.co.nz)- the reset button can be disabled on these too if I remember rightly.
