    these people have not sniffed packets, the y simply know your router settings password.With this they can use your broadband, alter you configurations, even lock you out.

    RESET your router, at the rear you will see a button or hole ( insert a pen ) This will completely reset the router

    You must now hard wire ( plug an ethernet cable ) from the router to your pc, reset the default password ( which is usually ' password ')

    Then secure the connection with wep or wpa, this requires another password

    Please post the make of your router eg, netgear, D-Link etc

    first unplug the data cables from the router so they cant use it anymore, leave the power in and press the small reset button on the back of your router. then i would recommend taking it somewhere out of range of the hackers while you set it up again
