Not quite clear as to your problem. Are you trying to access the web-based configuration page for the router (for which you need an administrator password)? Or are you trying to make a wireless connection to the Internet via the router (for which you need the wireless security key)?
Those are two separate passwords, and you may be able to retrieve them both. The administrator password would be stored in the computer that was used to configure the router. The security key should be in the computer which configured the router, as well as any computer which made a wireless connection to the router.
After you have installed the unit shut everything down. By shut it down I mean remove all power. This includes the computer. leave all power removed from unit(s) 1 minute. When powering back up power up cable modem first if you have one. Wait for unit to completely boot up. Next power up the wireles router. Once again wait for it to boot completely. Lastly boot your computer. Hope this helps.
Plug the router into your pc with an ethernet cable ( unless you can log onto the router wirelessly ), log onto the router and set/change your network key.
If you are unsure how, just google youe router and set up.
When you have your network key from the router you can set your wireless printer up
Assuming you are trying to install a router.... routers do not use drivers or software. CD's provided with Routers are generally used to walk you through the installation/setup process. Most Linksys routers are default accessible at 192.168.1.1 via your browser. the default username is admin and the password is usually admin. If this does not work, try resetting the router by pressing the rest button located on the back of the unit (small hole) with a paperclip. hold the button in for about 1 minute and then release it... If you are unlucky enough to have a unit with a flashing power lite, this is a dead unit and is not repairable. Look up your model for more specific instructions on www.linksys.com under the support section.
If the wireless light is not lit up on the router , better reset the router, This is the way how you reset it Press and hold the reset button of the router for 25 seconds and then after that power off the router and check the wireless light if its ON then if its ON just reconfigure the router by running the setup CD, but iof the wireless is still OFF have the router replace since its still new....
Hi Houzeman
Have you:
re-started the computer
power-cycled the router, ie, unplugged unit and waited 10+ seconds, before re-connecting disabled the unit, then enabled it
checked in Control Panel that the wireless card/ usb adaptor, is enabled; try disable/enable before checking settings re-input username and password re-input security settings?
If you are using a separate modem and router, turn both off, then power-on the modem, before the router.
If you have ethernet access, and a Local Area Connection is available, use it to open a browser and type in 192.168.2.1 (assuming yours is a Belkin) and check your settings.
I use a Belkin, which is a good unit, but it can be cantankerous sometimes, dropping out, then coming back unexpectedly and without reason.
Good luck

Look at the back of the wireless router. There is a reset button. Take a ball point pen and push that little button that says reset and hold it (while the unit is on and plugged in). Hold the button for about 15-20 sec. Then let go of the button and you should be able to log back in. Your IP address to access your router should be: 192.168.1.1 Your default password and username will be (Username: admin Password: admin)
Any questions, just ask!!!
It sounds like you don't have the units connected properly. Make sure you have a cable(wired) from your ethernet card on your pc connected to a wired port on the router. Then plug your router from its yellow port into the modem. Make sure your modem is connected to its Internet interface. Plug in your modem and wait 60 seconds for it to power up. Then power up the router.
At this point you should be able to access the router with the supplied installation CD. Run the setup assistant and it will define your wireless network. When you are through you should have internet access through the wired network. When you are finished you should be able to use the wireless network assuming you have the card installed correctly and the software for the card correctly installed.
set the second router through the web menus to a different ip address, cant have 2 devices on the same (default) 192.168.0.1 address, try 192.168.0.2 (example only) to stop data collisions
connect by cable secondary router lan port 1 to the primary router lan port 4 (any lan port to any lan port),
drag secondary router upstairs on its cable and install it wherever you want
set two routers on different channels.
set all wep settings on both routers the same.
set all pcs to 'auto channel' select
wireless adaptors in pcs will then select strongest signal at any point and transmit thru that router
