You can configure it with below method.
Connect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link. http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.15.1 or http://192.168.2.1 If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it.

Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for using FixYa.

From my understanding you have lost or forgotten your wireless password and or router login settings. You are able to reset this to factory default by locating the reset pin in the back. Once this is located you are going to want to grab a pin, paper clip, something of this sort. You will want to insert this object into the reset hole for 30 seconds and release. Your router should be back to default. Next open a web browser window on the connected computer and type http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar and press enter. A window will pop up prompting you for a username and password to access the configuration page for your router. Enter admin for both the username and password. With the defualt settings your password may be blanked out. You are able to setup your wireless network name and password again. I hope this has helped

Unfortunately, no. The only way to access your network again is to reset the router by holding down the reset button on the back (you might need to unplug it, then plug it back in while holding the reset button). That will reset your web interface (navigate to 192.168.1.1 in your browser while connected to the router)'s username and password to some form of the following:

Username: admin
Password: admin
Username: admin
Password: password
Username: admin
Password:

NOTE: The last combination is a blank password.

Once you've entered your router's web utility, you can set up your wireless again. Don't forget to write down the password...I wrote mine on the router itself, because honestly nobody can see it because it's in my house, so I don't have to worry about it being stolen.

You may need to edit the settings in the connecting computer, it may be using old specs and being rejected....without prompt, on some OS.

Hi there. My guess is it's the drivers. Sometimes windows update doesn't use the best driver for the product. I would find out what wireless and wired network cards he has and then search the original manufacturers website for the driver. You can find out about the name and manufacturer through device manager. Alex

Theencryption key secures your data from unauthorized access. The router's password is a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA orWPA2 encryption key. The Passphrase generates the WEP or WPA or WPA2 encryptionkey and this is in the router's wireless settings. To connect to your wireless router, configure the router'swireless settings ie SSID, plus the WPAor WPA2 encryption key and then configure wireless cards in the laptops and orcomputers with these router's wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktopcomputers can communicate with your wireless router.

Hi,
You can use 12V DC 500mA Adapters.It will work.

Thanks for using FixYa.

may be the wifi is switched off under the router or its in hidden mode, updrade the firmware of the router and then re configure it ... problem fixed for sure

best of luck

If you just bought the router, you will need to insert the router between your computer and your ATT DSL Modem. The cable from the wall goes into the modem (should already be that way) then the Ethernet cable from the modem should now go to the source of your Linksys Router. then use one of the ethernet ports from your router into the ethernet port on the back of your computer tower.

Use the documentation that came with the Linksys for more information on setting it up.

Good Luck

yeah its time for a new router. they do ware after time. Time to buy a new one and youll have no problem

The router won't have anything to do with what your search results are (I have the same router.) However, depending on how long this has been going on, your internet provider may be having some technical issues, and will be resolved quickly. The problem with your internet bringing you to strange websites that you didn't intend to go to is quite odd, I would attempt a virus scan just to make sure something isn't trying to harm your computer.

Please do the following

If you have a internet modem connect the lan cable from the Modem to the router's Wan / Internet Port.

From the Lan port you can connect to the system . Or use wireless fuction to connect computer to router

. If you are using wireless then just scan for wireless network from your system and connect it when the wirelelss network got visible
