Router Factory Reset by Itself?
Had no problems at all with router generally, but this morning, none of the wireless devices in the house could get a connection.
Had a look at the router setup and its as if its done a factory reset during the night.
Lost all my MAC and WEP security settings, firewall services etc... and of course, I didn't have a backup.
Will take a while to get everything back up and running, but the big question is how did this happen? I wouldn't have thought it could do a factory reset by itself?
Any ideas?

Firmare 7.03.01.66
The router stats show that it has only been up and running about 7 hours so whatever happened happened about 4am.
