WL-520GC I need to set security on this wireless network and am unable to get into the router as I don't have and haven't set a username or password but it wants one

You will need to do a "hard reset" which usually requires you to hold in the reset button (30 sec) as you turn on the device.

They always warn against changing settings over the wireless for exactly this reason.

1. Hardwired your computer to the router.2. Go to Command Prompt and type ipconfig.
3. Get the Ethernet adapter Local Area Network Default Gateway.
4. Open Internet Explorer and type the Default Gateway. Type admin for username and password.
5. Click Wireless Tab and change the wireless password.

For Username and Password, please type admin.

First:
In order to get your router back to the original settings, you must push in the reset button (usually on the back of the router) for somewhere between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the router. You may need a pin or something small to push in the button, because it can be recessed. Once you have reset the router, the username and password will be changed to the defaults, admin and password, respectively. One thing you must remember is that resetting the router will change all of the router settings back to the factory settings. This means you will lose all of the changes you made since you got the router. Make sure to write down any things you've changed, so you can change them back after the reset. Also, I recommend updating to the latest firmware after the reset.

There a great article at General Router Setup.

Hi! there is a possibility that the wireless network of your router is secured. to check on the setup page of the router, u need to type the ip address of the router ex-192.168.1.1.. to check the ip address of the router, connect the router directly to the router and click on start, run and type cmd, dos prompt will pop up and from the dos prompt, type ipconfig/all and it will list the ip address, subnet, default gateway.. the default gateway is the routers ip address. once u got it, pull up a browser and type at the url- the ip address of the router and enter.. it will ask for the username and password, by default the username is admin and the pass, leave it blank then it will show the setup page of the router and you have to go to the wireless settings, on the wireless settings will show the type of security and password u have.. i hope this will help to solve ur concern..

Maybe you entered a wrong username and password. Just enter your username and password correctly and try it again. If that doesnt solve your problem, try to reset your router and enter the default username and password.

It should be under the wirless setings.
