Top 20 Trendware TEW-452BRP Wireless Router (TEW452BRP) Questions & Answers

You could install the Linksys WRT54GS without any CD. You could use the Linksys EasyLink Advisor to scan your network for the Linksys WRT54GS. The Default IP-address is 192.168.1.1 so you should be able to connect to the Linksys with your Webbrowser when you do a factory reset of the Linksys.

I don't believe there is an installation CD, read the manual and login to the router and run the wizard. Answer the questions the wizard presents and when you're done, maybe you'll have configured the router for your situation. If not, you can research the various settings changing them as needed until you are successful.

For trendnetYour Trendnet wireless router lets you broadcast your home network across your entire house, so you can access the Internet in any room. This signal may be powerful enough to extend into neighbors' houses, where they could easily jump on the network if it is unsecured. To protect your network, set up Wireless Encryption Protocol, or WEP, to encrypt data and prevent access unless the user enters the correct password. Type "http://192.168.0.1" in your Internet browser's address bar and press "Enter." Enter "admin" for the username and leave the password field blank. Click "Log In" to log into your Trendnet wireless router's administrative program. Click "Wireless" from the left pane of the "Basic" tab. Click "WEP" under the "Wireless Security Mode" section at the bottom of the screen. Enter your preferred password for the network. A strong password is made up of a random selection of numbers and letters. Click "Save Settings" at the top of the screen to save your WEP settings. trendnet wireless router users guide http://downloads.trendnet.com/tew-611brp/manual/ug_tew-611brp.pdf

If you cannot log into your router:Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.

or

if there is a small hole in the front or back of the router push a hair pin in to reset to factory settings

also if its linked directly to your internet contract you could ring your ISP internet service provider and get the password from them hope this helps

there is a hard reset button at the back. you need a pen to press that button for 15 seconds while turned on...

afterwards it will restore all the default settings...

Straighten a Norwegian paper-clip, and insert one end into the small hole in the back of the router, to "reset" the router to its "factory" settings.

Or, spend $50, and replace the router.

Hi! please try to download the firmware of your router the routers website and upgrade the routers firmware.possible is. the firmware is corrupted..

Assuming all the cables are connected the way it used to be befoe you went, I would suggest you to try and ping a global DNS address . ( Start - Run - cmd ) type ping 4.2.2.2 in the command prompt , and see if you can get four replies.
Else, I would suggest you try to power cycle teh the router once and if that doesnt work still, please reset it once.
hope this helps
Thanks

You must download the firmware first from the manufacturer's website.

Firmware Upgrade Instructions:
Please download and unzip the firmware file to computer's local hard drive and then follow the instructions in the "readme.txt" file to upgrade the firmware.

Warning : -
Firmware upgrade failure may permanently damage the unit and causing it not to function. If the issues in the "Release Note" do not address the problem you are experiencing, please do not upgrade the firmware. Never upgrade the firmware using a wireless connection. Firmware upgrade will reset the Router to factory default state (all current settings will be replaced by default settings). When necessary, please write down the Router's current settings before performing the firmware upgrade. Please do not load the previously saved Router "configuration file" to the new firmware.

If you need assistance performing the firmware upgrade or if you have any questions, please contact our Techsupport Team http://www.trendnet.com/support.

Ok make sure your PC is connected to the router with a network cable for programming.
I noticed you said 192.168.1.1. I see an extra period just wanna make sure your typing it in correct
192.168.1.1

Ok so make sure the cable modem is plugged into the WAN on the router... Now connect another ethernet cable to the PC and the router. Reset the modem and router... wait a few mins and try to connect to the programming setup.
User name= admin Pass=admin

I had the same problem.. the router did forward another port for me (port 12345) so i just set the port for uTorrent to 12344 and it magically worked... i'm not sure why but i would try setting the port to a lower range

Most router config pages can be opened at http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 . Better confirmation can be made if you provide the router model. You can also double check the address by going to start > run, typing cmd then hitting enter. In the command window that pops up, type ipconfig /all and press enter again. In the information it returns, you will see a Default Gateway address. That address should lead to your router if you put it in your browser.

I would suggest checking in the router's admin panel. (Typical accessed by typing 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 into your address bar on your web browser. Type your password (if you do not know it check your owners manual for the default) and check to see if you have any firewall or port restrictions set.

If you are experiencing slow speed while connected to a router, there are a number of things that can cause that problem.

If its the router causing the problem it could be a bad router, or a setting on the router.

1.) first thing i would do is a traceroute to google.com so from a command prompt type tracert google.com and see if your few hops are high. if they are when the router is connected but not high when the router is disconnected, then we know its something with the router.

log into the router's configuration.
2.) on some models you can change the MTU size.
3.) make sure your not filtering any ports that you need such as 110, 25

start with those 3 steps and let me know how that goes.

I think the problem lies within the dhcp of your router. Make sure dhcp is on and change the lease time to 1440 minutes or higher that way once you have the ip address it will stay with your laptop longer. alternatively allocate the ip address on your laptop manually.

good luck

Change the calbe from the router to the dsl modem. Make sure you check labels on the rear of these devices to make sure the connections go where indicated. Is there and ethernet light on your modem. If that is on then the connection is made. Also check if the DSL modem works directly connected to the pc.

yes if you are formating you will need to re install the driver.

you may find the driver for free at.

It sounds like an ADSL signal strength issue. Test that it is not a problem with the ADSL phone cable setup, using the shortest ADSL/Phone cable you can find (under 1Meter is best)unplug all other phone line using devices and filters from the wall jack points and test the routers connection again as the only device plugged in(this is Isolation testing) If the issue replicates itself under isolation testing conditions then ring your ISP providor and request that the "ADSL signal voltage" needs to be increased slightly as your router is not hearing the ADSL signal properly. If the issue doesn't replicate itself under isolation test conditions, you are either using an old or bad ADSL/Phone cable or your cable is too long (should not be longer than 5meters)or if you are using a wall socket/splitter for direct adsl access (without filters)then test the socket with a filter to verify the socket/splitter is not the cause of the problem, if you do use phone filters, during isolation testing, test each of the filters individualy with the router and see if the disconnection issue is replicated if so replace the bad filter the disconnection issue was being caused by phone signal interferance. Your third request requires you to setup the LAN info on the windows side of your connection not the wireless card, this can be verified by searching for websites via thier IP address which will work, when searching via their website name wont, DNS resolution issue, it is probably best practice to use MAC Addressing for your wireless setup though.
