Subject: Suspected Unauthorized Interference With NetGear Router Administration Credentials, NetGear Online Account Access, and Apple iPhone 17 Wi-Fi Connectivity

Reporting Party: Sarai Hannah Ajai
Date of Incident: April 9, 2026
Approximate Initial Time: Approximately 3:30 PM
Location: 2432 20th Ave. S., Apt. 205, Fargo, North Dakota 58103
Related Systems / Accounts / Devices:

• NetGear Nighthawk Dual-Band Router RS100

• Midco home internet service

I. Executive Summary

On April 9, 2026, I experienced a sequence of unusual and disruptive events involving my NetGear Nighthawk RS100 router, my NetGear online account, and the Wi-Fi connectivity behavior of my Apple iPhone 17. These events occurred after I installed my Apple system updates on multiple Apple devices and then attempted to reconnect my Apple HomePod and Apple iPhone 17 to my assigned wireless network, “House of LANisters.” According to my firsthand account, the Wi-Fi connection process failed repeatedly despite use of the password, I had assigned to that network, and the device behavior appeared irregular.

During the same incident period, I discovered that access to my NetGear online account no longer functioned using my established credentials, requiring a password reset. I then attempted to access my router’s local administration portal using the fixed administrative username “admin,” but the router password also failed and the portal redirected me into a password-reset process requiring the device serial number and updated security answers before I could regain control of the router administration environment.

Also during this general time period, while I was at my bedroom office desk attempting to understand the ongoing internet and device-access problems, I am reporting that I overheard a male voice from outside in the parking-lot area shouting a sexually derogatory statement directed at me, specifically: “WE ARE TAMPERING WITH INTERNET BECAUSE YOU REFUSED TO SUCK COCK!” I further reported that when I looked outside, I observed two African male maintenance employees associated with Goldmark Property Management Inc. d/b/a Maplewood Bend Apartment Community / Southview Village Apartment complex, together with a Hispanic male standing nearby. I preserve that statement and observation as part of the full factual sequence because, from my perspective, it occurred during the same incident period as the router, account, and connectivity disruptions.

After I regained access to the router environment, my Apple iPhone 17 displayed an error stating that my Apople iPhone 17   was offline and directed me to reconnect to Wi-Fi or improve signal conditions. Later, after I rebooted the router and modem and contacted Midco, my iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection to the “House of LANisters” network reappeared with a check mark, indicating restored connection status.

I am preserving this report as a contemporaneous record of my firsthand observations, the sequence of events, and the exhibits I identified. At present, I do not claim technical certainty as to the cause of these events. However, the combined credential failures, account-access disruptions, router reset requirements, hostile verbal statement, and device connectivity anomalies were serious enough to justify formal documentation, preservation, and possible review by service providers, investigators, legal counsel, or law enforcement.

II. Background and Context

On April 9, 2026, I received notice from Apple that updates were available for my Apple Mac Mini M1, iPad Air M3, and iPhone 17. After I completed those updates, I attempted to reconnect my Apple HomePod by placing my Apple iPhone 17 near the HomePod. That process did not complete as expected, which led me to manually reconnect my Apple iPhone 17 to the Wi-Fi network assigned through my NetGear Nighthawk Dual-Band Router RS100 device. The network name was “House of LANisters,” and I entered the password I had assigned for that network. According to my report, the Wi-Fi password entry field accepted the password but then failed to proceed properly after a short idle interval, and my Apple iPhone 17 did not connect as expected.

I also observed what appeared to be a previously used or variant SSID presentation in my Apple iPhone 17 Wi-Fi settings, namely “Avenger Network,” while I had used a similar alternate SSID naming convention, “Avengers Network,” for certain 2.4 GHz devices. I preserve that observation because, from my perspective, it was unusual and occurred during the same period as the broader connectivity and credential-access problems.

III. Incident Timeline

A. Apple Device Update and Failed Wi-Fi Reconnection Attempt

Approximate Time: About 3:30 PM

After completing Apple updates on my Apple devices, I attempted to reconnect my Apple HomePod and Apple iPhone 17 to my NetGear-managed wireless network. My Apple iPhone 17 did not reconnect normally to the “House of LANisters” network even though, I entered the password I had assigned. The password-entry process did not behave as expected and the connection did not complete successfully after multiple attempts. I preserved this condition as Exhibit A.

B. NetGear Online Account Access Failure

During the same general period, I attempted to log in to my NetGear online account using my established username and password. That login failed, and I was required to reset the password in order to regain access. I preserved this event as Exhibit B.

C. Router Administration Password Failure and Forced Reset

I next attempted to access the local administration portal for my NetGear Nighthawk RS100 router using the fixed administrative username “admin.” Although the username itself is standard for the router environment, the corresponding router password no longer worked. Instead, the portal presented a password-reset path requiring me to enter the router serial number ending in 0D5A, then proceed through a credential reset process that required a new admin password and updated answers to secret questions before I could regain access to the router portal. I preserved this event as Exhibit C.

D. Reported Derogatory Statement During Incident Period

Approximate Time: Approximately 5:30 PM

While I was seated at my bedroom office desk attempting to determine what was occurring with my Apple iPhone 17 Wi-Fi and router-access issues, I am reporting that I overheard a male voice echoing from outside in the parking-lot area shouting the following statement: “WE ARE TAMPERING WITH INTERNET BECAUSE YOU REFUSED TO SUCK COCK!” I further reported that when I got up and looked out my bedroom window, I observed two African male maintenance employees associated with Goldmark Property Management Inc. d/b/a Maplewood Bend Apartment Community / Southview Village Apartment complex, and a Hispanic male standing near them. I include this event, as part of the incident chronology because, according to my report, the statement was made during the same time frame as the internet, router, and device-access disruptions and was understood by me as connected to the events then occurring.

E. Subsequent iPhone Offline Error

After regaining access to the router and checking my Apple iPhone 17 settings, I observed an error message stating:

“Your iPhone is offline. Turn off Airplane mode, seek out better signal, or connect to a Wi-Fi network.”

I preserved this condition as Exhibit D.

F. Reboot Activity, Midco Contact, and Restoration of Wi-Fi Check Mark

Following the offline message, I rebooted the NetGear Nighthawk RS100 router and modem again and contacted Midco, my home internet provider, speaking with an agent identified as Karen at approximately 6:55 PM. During or after that call, I observed that my Apple iPhone 17 once again showed the Wi-Fi SSID and password state as connected, with a check mark next to the “House of LANisters” network without me entering the WiFi password. I preserved this connected-state condition as Exhibit E.

IV. Evidentiary Observations

Based on the materials and narrative I preserved, the evidence set presently includes:

• Exhibit A: Apple iPhone 17 prompt requesting entry of the password to join the “House of LANisters” Wi-Fi network.
• Exhibit B: NetGear online account login screen reflecting failed authentication / invalid credentials.
• Exhibit C: NetGear router portal password-reset page requiring serial-number entry to regain administrative access.
• Exhibit D: Apple iPhone 17 connectivity screen stating that the iPhone was offline.
• Exhibit E: Apple iPhone 17 Wi-Fi settings screen showing the “House of LANisters” network with a check mark indicating restored connection status.

In addition to the screenshots, I also preserve my firsthand account that during the same incident period, I overheard a male voice making a sexually derogatory statement that explicitly referenced tampering with the internet. That verbal statement is not a screenshot-based exhibit, but it is part of my contemporaneous factual account and may be relevant to the overall context, motive, hostile conduct, or possible intentional interference issues I am reporting.

V. Analytical Assessment

Based on the currently available facts, the most accurate characterization is that on April 9, 2026, I experienced a concentrated sequence of irregular events involving:

• failure of expected Wi-Fi reconnection behavior on my Apple iPhone 17,
• loss of expected access to my NetGear online account credentials,
• loss of expected access to my router’s local administration password,
• forced re-entry into a router administrative reset process,
• a reported hostile verbal statement explicitly referencing internet tampering, and
• a later iPhone offline state followed by restoration of Wi-Fi connection status.

At present, I cannot state with technical certainty whether these events resulted from an unauthorized access, account credential compromise, router configuration corruption, firmware malfunction, service-side instability, device-side software behavior following Apple updates, intentional interference, or another technical cause. I can state, however, that the events were abnormal, occurred within the same general time period, and were accompanied by a reported statement that, if accurately heard and attributed, appeared to reference deliberate internet tampering. For that reason, the incident warrants preservation and further review rather than dismissal as an ordinary routine connectivity problem.

VI. Potentially Relevant Legal Frameworks

The following authorities may be relevant for preservation and review purposes depending on what later technical records, provider logs, witness evidence, or forensic analysis show. This section is not a final legal conclusion that any specific violation has already been proven.

1. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act — 18 U.S.C. § 1030

If any person intentionally accessed my router administration environment, associated accounts, or connected systems without authorization, or exceeded authorized access in a manner that impaired access, altered credentials, or caused loss, then 18 U.S.C. § 1030 may be relevant.

2. Stored Communications Act — 18 U.S.C. § 2701

If the underlying events involved unauthorized access to electronically stored account data, session records, or stored communications associated with the NetGear online account or related service environments, then 18 U.S.C. § 2701 may be implicated.

3. Federal Wiretap Act / Interception of Electronic Communications — 18 U.S.C. § 2511

If later review were to show that electronic communications, device traffic, or credential exchanges were intentionally intercepted, monitored, redirected, or captured in transit without authorization, then 18 U.S.C. § 2511 may become relevant.

4. Fraud and Related Activity in Connection With Access Devices or Credentials — 18 U.S.C. § 1029

If electronic credentials, authentication mechanisms, password-reset pathways, or access devices were misused for unlawful account access or control, then 18 U.S.C. § 1029 may warrant review.

5. Fraud and Related Activity Involving Identification Information — 18 U.S.C. § 1028

If identifying account data, profile-linked authentication information, or related identifiers were altered or used without authorization as part of the incident, then 18 U.S.C. § 1028 may also be relevant.

6. Aggravated Identity Theft — 18 U.S.C. § 1028A

If any later investigation were to establish that another person knowingly used my identifying information or authentication-linked identity markers without lawful authority during and in relation to a predicate offense, then 18 U.S.C. § 1028A could become relevant.

7. Telecommunications Privacy / Customer Proprietary Network Information — 47 U.S.C. § 222

To the extent provider-side account handling, network-routing information, or telecommunications service data may be implicated by unexplained connectivity anomalies, 47 U.S.C. § 222 may be relevant as a privacy and account-handling framework for service-provider review.

8. State-Law Issues

Depending on facts developed later through logs, provider records, witness evidence, or expert review, the incident may also implicate North Dakota state-law theories involving unauthorized computer access, invasion of privacy, intentional interference, sexual harassment, discriminatory harassment, intimidation, negligence, interference with quiet enjoyment, or related civil claims.

VII. Effect on Me

This incident caused substantial frustration, distress, and disruption. The inability to access my router administration environment, the failure of my NetGear online account password, the interruption in expected Wi-Fi connection behavior, and the later offline error on my Apple iPhone 17 materially interfered with my ability to use and manage my own network-connected devices and accounts. In addition, the reported male voice comment was degrading, sexually explicit, and intimidating, and it increased my fear that the disruptions I was experiencing were not random technical problems but part of intentional hostile conduct directed toward me. This  incident report expressly states that these repeated interferences left me angry, mentally frustrated, and concerned that I was being hindered in the use of my own devices.

VIII. Formal Statement

I, Sarai Hannah Ajai, state that on April 9, 2026, at 2432 20th Ave. S., Apartment 205, Fargo, North Dakota 58103, I personally observed a sequence of irregular and disruptive events involving my NetGear Nighthawk RS100 router app, my NetGear online account, and my Apple iPhone 17 Wi-Fi connectivity. These events included repeated failure of expected Wi-Fi connection behavior, loss of expected access to my NetGear online account password, loss of expected access to my router administration password, redirection into a router-reset process requiring serial-number authentication and updated security answers, an my Apple iPhone 17 offline connectivity message, and later restoration of the Wi-Fi connection status. I further state that during the same incident period I overheard a male voice from outside making a sexually derogatory statement explicitly referencing tampering with the internet, which I have preserved in this report as part of my contemporaneous factual account.

I do not claim technical certainty as to the precise cause of these events. I am preserving this incident report as a contemporaneous record of my firsthand observations and the related exhibits for potential use in communications with service providers, regulatory agencies, investigators, legal counsel, or law enforcement.
