Greetings guys,
We use MAC filtering on our router at home. One day when we were
adding a new device we accidentally switched the filtering rules from
“allow only these MAC addresses” to “block these MAC addresses”.
Suddenly none of our devices had internet access. The fix was to
simply press the reset button on the back of the router and it
restored the router to default settings and removed the MAC filtering
settings. Just wanted to bring this up because if your guest has
access to the router he could easily remove all of your security
settings by simply pressing a button and blame it on a power outage.

The home routers I've used all had a "Save Config" onption somewhere.
Makes it easy to restore to a known good state.
Gotta watch those guests...
