Try the reset button to put it back to factory default. If it's still not working, it's time for a new router.

Hi,

Look at the back of the Router. There would be a Reset button above the Ports. Use a Sharp Object like Pen or Paper Clip to Press and Hold it for 20 Seconds and it would Reset the Router.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

There are times when the easiest method to reset the router is to power it down and then back up. You will not loose any of your settings on the router. They are stored in memory. You should not fear the power down.

If you haven't tried using the reset button, should be an explanation how to use it on the router in the manual, try that.
Also, try a replacement power supply to the router, if you can get hold of one. As this maybe faulty.
However, likely faulty router, maybe due to power surge, due to lightning/bad weather.

U can try with www.routerlogin.com .
username : admin , Password - password
And on the left hand side blue panel , u will see setup password option .. so u can setup a password there

Check the firewall settings on your router
Check the ports that the game servers are using and try to open them

I assume you mean the wireless encryption key.
The key is accessed by opening a browser and typing in the configuration URL IP address.
To setup the encryption key and to secure your wireless router, please - click on this link and follow my instructions :-

i had the same problem take the adapter over to radio shack and buy a new adapter with the same volts and amps :() under 15 bucks

Check the settings in the router setup by going to your internet browser. Type 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 whatever one works.

Type in Admin for the username and password for the password. This is the default username and password.

Change what MAC addresses the router accepts and any other settings that suit your need.

You can also go through a setup from this utility.

Open any web browser, such asInternet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. In the address bar, enter"192.168.0.1" (without the quotes) and press the enter key. This willbring up the login prompt for most Netgear wireless routers. If that doesn'twork, try "www.routerlogin.net", "192.168.0.5", or"10.1.10.1" until the login window appears.
Enter the username "admin"(again, without the quotes), and the password "password" in theappropriate fields, then click OK to login. If that password fails, try"1234," "Password" (with a capital "P"), or"admin" until you are greeted with the settings screen.

Make any required changes to thesettings. Under security, it is possible to specify a new username and passwordfor added security. Once you are done, close the window, and the system willautomatically log you out.

Try unplugging the router and holding down the RESET button in the back of the router down for 10 seconds...then try to power it back on. Can you also try plugging the power supply into another socket?

If nothing changes then either the power supply went out or the router itself just died.

Most are covered for a year so hopefully you kept the receipt.

Login to the default router config page from your desktop pc. This is usually plugged straight into the router via a network cable. Go to http://192.168.1.1 in w web browser. Default login is usally "Admin/Admin" or "Admin/Password" keep trying different combos.

You may also need to press the "Reset" button on the back of the router.

Check the power adapter plug with a multi-meter. The voltage at the plug should be slightly higher then the voltage that is printed on the label on the bottom of the adapter.
If you get a very low or zero voltage, then the adapter is faulty and needs to be replaced.

For that first you have to know your wep or WAP secure password.It is in router.
First connect your router to computer ethernet cable.
Then you can access it with following link.
http://192.168.1.1
or
http://192.168.0.1
type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or blank or "password"
then go to wireless and then WEP security check your code it is your password to connect secure wi fi
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks.

For routers, there no way to see what the WPA key is. Once you check the Web UI of the router and check the security, all you will see are asterisks (*********). Because WPA is a security and needs to be hidden. As the owner of the router, you should always remember what your WPA key is.

In order to resolve this issue, you need to reset the router back to factory default, set up a new WPA key and save it.

Or you may contact the manufacturer of the router and see if they have a record for your router

Have a great day!
