   Check out that link.   It shows some things you can do to mess with him.   
      
   Before you do anything though, pick a long password with a combination   
   of letters and numbers and use that as your router admin password.  If   
   you want to use the link above, you'll need to leave your network   
   unencrypted, which I don't recommend.  Good luck securing your network!
