Not Linux specific, but I've never seen anything quite like this.

Parents wifi router was provided by NCTC cable TV.  Router is a Comtrend
AR=5381u. (This is actually an ADSL router but they plugged the Ethernet
cable into port 4.  So appears to just be used just for a wifi router.)

The installer had customized it before they fully moved in a couple of
years ago, so it had always been SSID of "Boniol Wifi" since they got there.

They were having internet problems, so my sister tried pressing the reset
button on the router...

It reset to have an SSID of NCTCWIFIxxxx.  There is no sticker on the
router saying what the password is.  So I figured okay, connect via wired
connection and go through the browser setup.  Nope.  It is set for
pass-through, not doing DHCP.  Router doesn't appear to have an IP.  (So it
appears to have some sort of customized firmware.)

Later found out NCTC service is down in the area, so internet wouldn't work
even if the wifi were configured as before.

I can't find any setup program for the router.  I found a manual for an old
version, which used to have a USB-B connection for configuration via
computer-USB, BUT this is a more modern version that doesn't have that port.

NCTC won't be open until Monday.  Even then I'm not sure what they could do
remotely if anything since there isn't a password sticker.

Any ideas on getting in to configure the router again?  Or figuring out the
password?

Thanks!
Paul Boniol
