Router keeps changing setting "Internet connection require to login" to no.

[#1]

Hello
I have the NETGEAR N150 WNR1000v3 router,
Does anyone know why my router keeps changing the setting "Internet connection require to login" to no, when it should be yes.
It is very annoying as I have to keep going into the router settings to change it back.
Thanks in advanced.

Hi kalvinparker,
If you are not doing anything at the point where your router changes this setting its more than likely a software issue with the router. Try the obvious factory reset. Failing that is it in warranty? You shouldn't have to be manually changes this when the router gets bored If it's out of warranty you can look at a firmware flash.
There is actually a latest firmware update available on the Netgear site here : http://support.netgear.com/product/WNR1000v3#wrapper you can use this without affecting warranty anyway.
Flashing if done incorrectly can cause complete failures of hardware so just follow the steps carefully.

and before you do download the Netgear flash recover tool http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/19841/~/reinstall-the-firmware-on-a-router-without-the...

I have been having this a lot lately on my WNDR4000 in fact just had it now.
Do you have Remote Management On I think there is a security loophole in the router OS.
This was supposed to be fixed but all they did was hid it.
This is my log just before I lost connection
Initialized, firmware version: V1.0.2.4_9.1.86]

I don't know who 168.63.206.25 is.

Thanks,
Not sure about the warranty as it was provided by Plusnet. I've updated the firmware and will wait and see if the problem is resolved.

Plusnet havn't supplied Netgear routers for a while so warranty will be gone im afraid. If you call customer services on 0800 4320200 they can arrange a new one for you either paying for it up front or agreeing to a 12 month contract and just pay the P+P. See how the firmware flash goes first.
