Shocking, I say, just shocking. 😀

Actually, quite sad. Sounds like a major hack, or maybe just a router company updating their firmware and blasting the setting all to hell on MSFT’s routers.

AT&T is good at that with their home fiber routers. Every time they update my router, I have to completely reconfigure it.
