How do I find my Linksys password?

Default is : Username: user or leave blank
password: Admin or admin

As far as I know if you changed it and don't remember it you need to push and hold reset button to set back to factory defaults.

My wireless internet stopped working.

When you plug in the ethernet cable the corresponding numbered indicator on the router should flash to indicate a LAN connection and some data flow from the router to the computer. This does not necessarily mean that there is data flow from the internet to your computer via the router. Simple check would be to use a smartphone and try and connect to WiFi on the router but restart the router first. If the smartphone is also having problems then the problem may be with your internet provider or the router. If the smartphone connects then restart the computer. If the computer still does not connect then try the following steps to refresh the computers IP address: For Windows XP Step 1 Click Start->Run, type cmd and press Enter. Step 2 Type ipconfig /release at the prompt window, press Enter, it will release the current IP configuration. Step 3 Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt window, press Enter, wait for a while, the DHCP server will assign a new IP address for your computer. For Windows Vista& Windows 7 Step 1 Click Start on the task bar, type cmd into the search box and press Enter. Step 2 Type ipconfig /release at the prompt window, press Enter, it will release the current IP configuration. Step 3 Type ipconfig /renew at the prompt window, wait for a while, the DHCP server will assign a new IP address for your computer. For Windows 8 & Windows 8.1&10 Step 1 Press windows key and X key at the same time. Then click at Command Prompt. Step 2 Type ipconfig /release at the Command Prompt window, press Enter, it will release the current IP configuration. Step 3 Type ipconfig /renew at the Command Prompt window, wait for a while, the DHCP server will assign a new IP address for your computer. Hope that helps. https://fastproactiveit.com/ Proactive IT Support PC Repairs Laptop Repairs Custom Built PC Leading IT...

Linksys WRT300N router flashing all lights

On the back of the router you will see what looks like a pin hole, turn the router on and use a paperclip to push into the hole(it's a reset button) and keep it pushed in till the router cycles off then on again, it resets the router to default. Hope this helps.

Phone lines shuts down

Sounds like you need a service tech to check your connection out there. VOIP hates latency and if it detects it, it will shut down. You can go to PingPlotter.com and they will show you have to check if you have a good internet connection.

How Do I Make the Linksys WRT160n Wireless-N Only

Hello, Sit at your computer and open up IE browser. After this has opened up, go up to the url bar and erase anything there and when this is blank, type in http://192.168.1.1 then hit the enter key. The router should now pop up a login menu close to the middle of your monitor. The default password for Linksys routers is ADMIN leave the user name blank and just enter the password ADMIN This then will open up the routers main menus and at the top of the tabs look for the tab named "wireless" click on this tab and look this menu over and you should find the box to check or uncheck to accomplish what you want done. Good luck. By the way, while your in the routers menu "Change the Default Password" to something that you have to write down! leaving the password set the the factory default is a huge mistake. Like leaving all your windows and doors open going on a long vacation! Got it? Dennis

I have a Linksys Wireless WRT160N Router and

Be like that other Linksys router model, Linksys WRT160N router is always unique because of their wild, future-oriented functions and even smaller size. You can call on the Linksys support number in order to get help from the expert to start running the router again. If the number you have dialed is not giving any response, you can go to the Contactforhelp to acquire the alternate contact number of technicians.

We have windows 7 ultimate on a hp pavilion du 7

For the WRT310n, back to the User Guide (download from Linksys), perform a reset and start over following setup instructions (make sure the router is hardwired to the laptop). Set up a new home network on the laptop using Control Panel. Make sure the adapter settings are correct and good to go. Then see if you can connect to the router with your browser to set it up. After setup, you should be able to connect to the router wirelessly from the laptop, but you have to make sure the wireless transmitter inside the laptop is turned on first (see the laptop user manual).
