Just ne frege by the way, if no one answers me, it’s ok too, that's why it’s here and not in the router department.
Is it in any way forbidden to get into an unsecured router?
No data theft or anything ... just the router.
PS .: the router does not belong to me and is in another apartment.

Hello
Interesting question, but I don't think you will get any legal advice here. But as long as you neither spy on data, change it or use the access to surf for free, the question is more academic, right?
-
The scenario came up recently on TV when it was said that the owner of the router would be liable if someone climbs in and causes damage, so if he hasn't made any settings to make access difficult, he's the one with the problem.
As a good neighbor I would point out to him that he does not "prevent", that would be fair ...;) -
Hello Eddy,
that is of course the scenario from the other point of view. We have the problem with the children and the internet access.
We also have several open connections on site, but from experience I know that people don't listen to reminders. Since "you are more likely to put an ox in the horn".

Well ... in terms of "good neighbor", I have no idea who the owner is, where he lives, or what his name is.
... and it doesn't seem to bother him that the WeLAN is open, or that it is no longer "Netgear" but "New_Opened_Network (A-Uijuijui!)", and the router needs a password to change settings.
And I actually made it safer, except that s is still open now, but otherwise the guy won't be able to access the internet (and I'm not that nasty :-P).
AND I'll stay fair and don't even try to get his data.
So now you can surf for free at your own expense (provided you live from house numbers 1 to 5 and on the 3-5 floors). -
Hallo,
@fuzi: Please don't blame me for my frank words, but you have crossed the line. Obviously, people are not very technically gifted, maybe they don't even know what's going on. But changing his data, kidding him and partially preventing him from using his device is a tough job. It may be that he has only been able to access the Internet via cable so far, but if he tries to use his WLAN he is unlucky, can you see that?
And if he has to access it, he has no choice but to reset his device. A lot of people then have to send in new data and during this time you deny him the internet access he paid for?
In such cases I go to the people and inform them, if they don't want to hear it is their business. But this is not a legal point of view, just my own opinion, Klaus

STOP: Wait a minute!
The router has a password, not the WLAN, it can access the Internet without a WLAN key, better I create a password than someone who really wants something from it (in terms of data theft),
Besides, if he does a hard reset on a new router (unconfigured), which data does he have to get again?In addition, the strange name apparently made him suspicious, and the WLAN "NETGEAR" is online again with encryption. That was actually the reason why I gave the network a new name.
-
Hallo,
I think the discussion is pointless because you just think that your behavior is fun, I see it in the far other corner.
That with the WLAN was a mistake of mine, I was probably too excited, unfortunately. But if the guy has to access the router, a reset is inevitable. And then the access data is deleted. And in my experience, such people often lack the access data because they are thrown away or simply cannot be found. I don't think it's fair to accept something like that. You are also restricting someone's access to their property.

Well then I have to say something to you:
Hearts on to umsudan, wü the stupid bledsinn is over anyway!
Late is a, oiso ko's eich be blunted anyway!In standard German:
Let's stop arguing, the matter is over anyway.
It's too late to change too, so it doesn't matter now anyway.Even if the whole thing differed a lot from my actual question, it doesn't matter, I got your opinion, so I'm more or less happy.
