I can't access my linksys router set-up page. I keep getting this message: "401 unauthorized" authorization required

Hold the reset in back till it cycles. This will clear any custom settings and try again.

No, but you can just reset the whole router and start from scratch. Hold the reset button on the rear of the router for 60 seconds and your will restore the unit to defaults, at which point you just need to reconfigure all of your configuration settings and password, as well as your wireless access code. Let me know if you require any additional assistance.

You can try to change the browser settings.

1. If you're using Internet Explorer, click on the Tools tab
2. Click Internet Options
3. Click on the Security Tab, then under security level for this zone , set it to medium or low. Hit apply
4. Click on Custom Level , scroll all the way down and on User Authentication, set it to prompt for username and password. Click OK.

Did you set the username and password for the router?

This happens due to user restrictions on your router make sure the user name and passwords.

If u forgot them u can reset the router by pressing the reset button on router. After some time the router will start and u can access the router with default passwords.

Hope this will be helpfull.

The default password of the linksys router is admin just leave the username blank, if admin did not work reset the router so it will be back to its default settings with default password admin and leave the username blank ..

Hope that helps........
