Router address changed, please help

[quique]

Hi Everyone!

My router address changed from 192.168.1.1 to 10.0.0.1. When I looked at the "attached devices" on the Netgear router page there was an unidentified device that didn't have a name or IP address. I did not change anything since I bought this router about 1 month ago.

My first instinct is that someone is hijacking my signal. Is this what's most likely happening? Any suggestions of how to better secure my network?

Thanks

Did you at least change the default password? I am assuming this is a wireless router.

Reset router to defaults. Go back in and configure it again. Make sure to use no less than WPA for wireless encryption and pick a hard pass phrase.
