Hi.
Been hacked for a couple years more times than anyone I know. It seems it follows me based on my logging in with my Hotmail.com ID. For multiple reasons, we decided to install Cat5e in seven rooms at the house here where I work. ISP is AT&T and package is Uverse450. When I finished the Cat5e and moved the AP to a more central location for better wifi and shorter Ethernet runs, it was bliss for a couple weeks. Then service went out and wifi performance was worsened for the 5GHz radio. After trying to get back to blissful state I noticed in Windows 8.1 when I open File Explorer (FE) I have a label in the left column for "network." I clicked on it and it gives me the properties window listing the manufacturer as Cicso and the model as WVBRO and the model number as WVBRO-25-US and it says it is my network infrastructure. However, AT&T has provided a Pace RG, not Cisco, and the Cisco showing and the Pace I'm supposed to be hooked up to have different MAC addresses. Many confusing issues.
I do believe the neighbors have AT&T Dish service and someone said maybe they placed their Cisco product in the DMZ and my computer is picking it up. AT&T didn't know what to say. They sent a tech out and he said he didn't have any idea but that I should post the details at AT&T forums, so I did. Because I don't know networking the thread is long with my shot gun approach to things. Sorry about the length. There are screen grabs and details. Too many to replicate here. If anyone has suggestions, I'm listening.
Here below is the link to the long thread.
To moderators. Not sure what forum to post this into since it involves multiple devices for both use and testing. I chose this one because my Surface RT with 8.1 windows is what ID'd the cisco network bridge product.
Surface RT 8.1
Dell Vista SP2
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Mac OSX 10.10
and others.
Thanks for listening.
