[QUOTE="Archive7, post: 995015"] My router is D-Link DSL 6740U (ADSL modem/router) I setup today the guest account with password (5 numbers only) for my neighbor. Just wondering which software hackers use to decipher the keys and if 5 numbers is hard to crack. It is only 99,999 possibilities so if someone who has a lot of time on his hands (a prisoner for example), he should be able to crack it in 100 days at the rate of typing 1,000 numbers a day. But of course he can get there sooner depending on the actual key. I can change it to 13 numbers to make it more difficult but this is really too much (good for a prisoner with a life sentence, gives him something to do). [/QUOTE]
