Netopia Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Start up the computer using the original operating system installation disk. Re-install all the drivers, and programs. VERY IMPORTANT to install a quality virus scanner. The paid ones such as McAfee or Symantec, or the equivalent are strongly recommended. The free ones are not usually well supported and they will not guarantee up to date tables. DO NOT install hacked, or pirate, or software hacks, Most of these carry Trojans. That is their catch. Take care of the web sites that are visited. Use common sense to keep the computer clean. There are some worms and viruses that can do permanent hardware damage. If this has happened to your computer, service will be required. Jerry G.

Try Password: admin, 1234, serial number of unit (written underneath)Or you could connect to it with a Ethernet Cable and open web browser and go to 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.1.254 and you can access settings from there and change WEP password. Last resort, just use the reset button on the unit.

Some later model wireless routers have the Password(ie.Encryption key) and the SSID already configured in the wireless router andthis information is printed on a label on the bottom of the router.These settings can be used to configure the wireless card and wireless adaptersin your computer/laptop. If these settings do not suit you, then it can be changed to suit yourrequirements. The encryption key secures your data and wireless connection from unauthorizedaccess.To configure the wireless settings in the router, connect a LAN cablefrom your computer to the wireless router, then open a Browser on your computerand enter the router's configuration IP address, then enter the admin login andpassword and then go to the wireless settings and configure the SSID andEncryption key.The router's encryption key can be a Passphrase or the WEP or WPA or WPA2key.If you use the Passphrase method select either WEP or WPA or WPA2 togenerate the encryption key. You can enter the WEP or WPA or WPA2 key with 8 to63 ASCII characters or 64 Hex digits.Most people use Passphrase which is easier to remember eg. I was born inJanuary 1988.The strongest and latest security is WPA2, the weakest and oldest is WEP. To connect to your wireless router from the computer/laptop,configure the wireless card in your computer/laptop with the router's wirelesssettings ie SSID, plus the WPA or WPA2 encryption key. Then computer/laptops cancommunicate with your wireless router.http://www.fixya.com/support/r10267861-network_security_key

Hello
Check with your router manufacture on how to log in to the router.

Once you have logged in,check that upnp or universal plug and play is checked to on.
This should allow x box to work through the router.

First make sure the dialling is done to the correct number - it will be listed in the contract papers.
Phone your ISP and request them to confirm you that those are indeed the correct username and password.

Four ethernet ports are standard on all wireless gateways. Yes, it can provide you wireless connection.

If you mean the reset button has been pushed and now the modem needs re-programing, then the modem has defaulted to its factory setting. Its IP address is now 192.168.1.254, its user name is Admin, and its password is the same as the serial number of the modem, usually found on the label on the bottom of the unit.

well, if you have been blocked by the admins of the website , u can still get an access to the website, as what the admins do is , they block ur IP, and hence u cant access it, if you want to get the access, then, change your IP address. to know How to change, it , u can mail me @ [email protected] i can't publish it online. good luck

Hi,

Welcome to Fixya. The security can be access on the router settings page. To access the router page you need a working computer that is connected to the router. To access the router page just open a browser then type 192.168.1.254, the Default username is admin and the password is set by the user. You can press the reset button at the back of the router using a pen or paper clip. Just make sure that the router is on so that you can reset it to factory state. You can also refer to the manual below for more information about the network key. Please refer on page 52 of the manual. The preshared key or passphrase is the network key.

Thanks

You need to set up port forwarding for the ports you're planing on using.

if you have the manual with the unit locate where is the reset button then push it for 10 sec.
