Apparently this has been progressing unnoticed for some time. >ISP's pushing updates to their modems and routers that broadcast a very strong "HIdden Network" >they didn't tell you they we're doing it >they won't explain what it does, what the name of the network is or why its non removable some high IQ user pls explain what this shit is....i feel like some " identifiable group" could be behind this.... is this happening in europe or south america....canada, australia, asia.....russia too???? report in anything you know, ask any questions you have
Here in Europe my provider has an opt-out WiFi service for their customers. If you don't opt out you can connect to it using other customers routers, it is isolated and cable is shared anyways. So propably something like this.
Joseph Fisher
so it's most likely just their to gib wifis to people and use the customer as a product? or am i reading this wrong??? also my problem is that its Broadcasting at 90Db all through my property and my router is at 50Db but only in the house. i feel like i've been invaded and something is going on with my net, maybe i'm being monitored or something? FBI showed up a few months ago looking for my little brother but only asked a few questions then left....and he met with them about a week later and they asked him about some post on a forum about blowing up a mosque or something and he was like "i troled" and they we're like "heh, we had to check" and that was like 2 months ago...
thats not my issue m8 i want to know what this hidden network is, why its there, who paid for it to be there, and why they have it operating on my private property behind my back and against my permission
Nicholas Edwards
>here in Europe you have to share your internet with strangers you can't make this shit up
Juan Young
what a great cover up for what its also doing that they aren't gonna tell you. maybe they plan on replicating peoples wifi connection and seamlessly replacing it to mitm and monitor you...both techs at our cable company my father questioned told him to change his wifi password and router password and implied they had been hacked. i put a secure password on both and set them up myself, but my father told the tech his username and password was admin admin because he didn't want to give away any info if they were actually up to something
Sebastian Fisher
>south america yeah, it's not exactly hidden but you can really mess around with it I'd put the equipment inside a faraday cage and use my own router if I really wanted to block it
Ethan Gonzalez
*can't really mess around with it
Landon Anderson
>sensitive to wifi signals
Carson Bailey
yea what a floosy, but still he has a point in wanting to know what the hell is going on
So that's where my ISP's million wifi hotspots came from.
Colton Myers
mark is a fucking faggot. the kind to remind eachers about homework if the teacher forgets.
Lincoln Diaz
Cumcast does this you fagggot.
Gabriel Davis
Its a plan to launch a future cell service that bounces off peoples home networks.
Xfinity or whatever just announced it.
Jose Roberts
so they are blatantly lying about it??? its obviously not part of my home network in any way shape or form other than the fact its physically being broadcast from my property
Jordan Martinez
or put it into bridge mode and use another router not supplied by the isp?
Jayden Sanchez
>using isp equipment you deserve it
Jose King
dude its a fiber optic modem they have in a sealed plastic utility box outside...i had no choice in this shit
Zachary White
Why are you mad at us? Go higher a lawyer and sue them you americano
Joseph Bailey
use your own router
Ian Walker
>i want to know what this hidden network is, why its there, who paid for it to be there Your ISP dumbass. >and why they have it operating on my private property behind my back and against my permission You are leasing their equipment, they have every right to do it. Read the fucking contract next time.
Sebastian Butler
>higher
Ayden Green
First of all, don't worry about them collecting info on you, since https will prevent that. If you want to be sure go to grc.com/fingerprints.htm and put in a small website (not Google or similar; they use multiple ssl certs). Check that your fingerprint matches the one grc shows you and if it does you're good. As far as disabling it, the only way would be to gain access to that plastic box
Samuel Cruz
>mexico is behind this shit makes sense
James Turner
>modem >router >same thing you don't belong here
Luke Taylor
i'm not worried about them collecting info, my shit is secure...what i am worried about is them using me as some kind of service they are selling to others
Evan Ramirez
ISP's use their equipment to give free wifi to customers I use comcasts wifi all over town its in the TOS. you do read the TOS???
Carter Stewart
fuckhead that was my whole point they arent the same thing i have my own router, their modem is in a sealed box outside
Cameron Nguyen
Oh and like that guy said, it's probably not the modem that's broadcasting the signal. Are you sure that the modem is broadcasting it?
Then again, you'd have to access it to disable it, it use a Faraday case like user ssid. If you are able to connect to the network you can listen to it with Wireshark and see what kind of traffic is occurring
Grayson King
or use*
Jayden Ramirez
i can't connect to it because its secured and i dont know the SSID i did use airmon/airodump and was able to see it was 2x the strength of my home router....it was labeled (unassociated) in airodump-ng
I had this problem as well, because when you connect to this "public" WiFi you seem to be able to get on my local network and can actually see the devices on it. This is a high security risk ofcourse.
I called them and told them to shut it down, or turn it off. And they didn't agree with me and told me I can't turn it off.
So I opened up the modem and pulled the antenna's out of there.
Sure I don't get my money back from them when I return the thing. But you're not forcing this into me.
I have my own access points thank you very much.
Something on the side. It seemed to automatically get on the same channels als my AP's and for some stupid reason it was causing issues for all wireless devices and kick them off the network.
ISP's are dicks, you're forced to go through them to get internet. I just want a reliable connection and go on the internet.
Samuel Hill
If governments weren't allowed to enforce isp monopolies you wouldn't have this issue ;^] But keep voting Democrat sweaty
Grayson Reed
I'm not from America
Xavier Bennett
Sucks
Aiden Miller
... The signal is coming from your fucking cable box?
Jaxson Garcia
>sensitive to WiFi signals Oh god, here we go
William Ortiz
i dont have a cable box. i have a phone line (which isnt in use because we dont use home phone) and a highspeed fiber optic ethernet line, its coming from a modem they have outside in a sealed plastic container with wires coming into it from underground and from a box in my house yea that thread is from 2017 i posted it because its similar to what i am experiencing...guy was a bit nutty with that shit lol
Jacob Martinez
>i'm sensitive to wifi signals Sure, seewty.
Matthew Anderson
some isp's broadcast a network that is basically one of those 'free wifi' hotspots you would see. so your isp says you can join these free hotspots at starbucks and stuff and they are starting to create a separate ssid and let home users be their own hotspot as well.
Elijah Smith
>not sensitive to wifi signals do you have a license for that human form?
Adam Gomez
At least your modem doesn't expose a vulnerable version of Dropbear SSH on port 22 to the rest of the Internet with no option of disabling it.
Nolan Moore
I'm still using my ISP modem (a nice looking white box with their name written on it), is there a way to know if it's doing something bad? Or should i replace it anyway?
