Is there any way to disable the reset button on my Westell327...?

Question

I'm trying to keep my freeloader nephew and his Linksys Rangeplus Wireless USB adapter from grabbing my signal and getting free Internet access...I've tried setting a username and password, changing the WEP, SSID, and MAC numbers but he knows about the d**n RESET button! Any ideas? PLEASE???

Answer 1

lock the door.  Physical security is the most important part of a security policy.

Close the hole to the reset button with some epoxy.

Answer 2

Place it inside a locked cabinet or room... might weaken the signal a bit, but he can't reset it, if he can't get to it :)

You can't disable the reset button on ANY equipment like that- it's the failsafe should the device stop functioning, or if you forget the administrative password, etc.
