    Thanks,. Fortunately I was able to change WEP password and now I can access the internet on my ipod by joining my network with my new password, which I wrote down this time. Thanks again

Yes there is.. BUT you'll have to set up the security again... Fortunately DLink has a handy setup wizard which you can access here.. http://support.dlink.com/emulators/di514_revc/h_wizard.html
This will work right on your browser. You might want to test that it works on your system before wiping the router. (Just start it up then cancel if it starts)

Find the recessed reset button on back of the router close to the power input. Press and hold it with paper clip or pen tip for 10 - 15 seconds. This will restore it to factory settings.

You should use a wired connection to access the internet after that, no password. Go to the link above and use the online wizard to setup the router with encrytion and new password.

If it all orks wout for you kindly give me a rating. Thanks.

Forgot password to log on for my wireless connection trying to add my Wii and now cant even get my laptop back online

You can check the passphrase when you access the router page:
  • Open a Web browser and type http://gateway.2wire.net or http://192.168.1.254; the 2Wire Home page opens.
  • Click the Home Networking tab at the top of the 2Wire Home page.
  • Click on Wireless Settings. then click EDIT SETTINGS located on the right panel.
  • Here you will be able to fine the setting for your wireless connection
  • You can change the SSID, Wireless Channel, Wireless Security, and Network Key
  • If the Wireless Security Key uses the default, the Passphrase is the 10 digits located underneath the router under the S/N.
Thanks for using Fixya.

Need to restore to factory settings.( forgot password)

If you forgot the password, then you will need to do a hard reset and set everything up again, including security. There should be a small recessed button on the back of the router. Push and hold for 30 seconds while the router is plugged in.
To set everything back up is easy for someone who knows how, and don't do it (press the reset button) unless your confident you have the patience to set everything back up.

You should be able to download the CD from the website of the router manufacturer. But you will still need to know the password.

I would also download the manual so you will know how to set the router back up.

Lost signal between pc and i phone.

You have to find the router's IP address and log into the router. It would be something like 172.0.0.x. Since you forgot the router password, your going to have to press the reset button on the router itself to reset the router to factory settings. Check the user manual if you don't know where the reset button is. After that, your going to have to reset the password on the router. The usual default router username and password are "user" for username and "password" for the password. Make sure you make a more secure username and password for the router log in and router wireless security. If you need more help, write me back.
