    Mv> Very odd. A normal reboot would not do that, only a factoy reset. ISPs

   My Mom has a fiber-to-the-house connection with symmetrical gigabit speeds at   
   her house (which isn't available here, and I'm totally not jealous) from her   
   local power company.   
      
   The box they provide her (which is also her wifi router) "factory resets"   
   every time there is a power outage.  When she first got the connection she was   
   using the default wifi SSID which was a prefix and the mac-address of the   
   router, along with a super long and complicated password.   
      
   I made it more simple for them by making the wifi name more personal to them   
   and giving them a memorable passphrase instead of that complicated password,   
   sure enough the next time the power went out it reverted back to factory   
   settings.  "No big deal" I thought, I just set their box to bridge mode and   
   added my own wifi box and set her up that way.   
      
   Next time I was over I noticed two wifi connections, the one I installed and   
   the fiber modem's was back on.  A little digging showed that that box had   
   factory reset again which meant it was no longer in bridge mode and the wifi   
   my Mom was using is double NAT'ed.   
      
   Long story short:  She's using the box from her ISP with the settings imposed   
   upon her from that horrible box that provides fantastic speeds.
