Hi, all.

I've noticed that my home broadband speed seems to be a bit slow in recent days. I noticed, last night, that my Wireless Router had given a DHCP lease to a public IP address with an odd formation; something like 111.10.11.110.

Should I consider these warning sings of my ZyXEL router being compromised in some way?

Thanks,
IVR Avenger
