Uncheck anything and everything that is remote. (Keep in mind that the hacker may still be watching you so you need to be using a free software like KeyScrambler to encrypt what you type, just in case he is using a keylogger). Change everything and use a really strong password. If 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 won’t work, keep trying using a different “end” number such as the number 2.

It can be any place where you might provide account or personal information that the hacker can capture. In a router hack, the redirected site could be anything: Google, your bank, or a credit card company. The hacker then has that information and can use it to access your real PayPal account.
