Just found people on my wifi, checked router and security turned off. Why? Could this have happened when I flashed my router? yikes.
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Please always read the "how to" before upgrading the firmware and also take a back up of the working configuration which you can restore after a successful upgrade. Sometimes, you may have to reconfigure because the original configuration may not be compatible with the new firmware.
Here is a warning I have on my linksys router upgrade screen.
"Note: When you upgrade the Router's firmware, you may lose its configuration settings, so make sure you write down the Router settings before you upgrade its firmware."
Immediately after the successful upgrade, change the default userid/password and configure security settings using "WPA2 personal" with AES encryption and also enable MAC accesslist after adding all your wifi devices.
below is a "How to" for enabling security.
