Is there a Password associated with this Router, please

do not worry you just reset your wifi router it will present on the router there is a image :-

I am going to assume you were advised to download a firmware update and not a driver, as in 99% of user installations of a router drivers are not necessary. Below you will find the instruction for uploading the firmware to your router, as well as the links associated with the firmware. You need to access the router through a browser, such as Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, etc. The reason you cannot find the file association is because this is a checksum file with a chk extension and there is no program that can run this in a computer environment, as it is a language file, compiled for installation through hardware. I hope this helps explain what is going wrong and how you can correct this issue. Let me know if you require additional information on setting up your router.

1. Download the file to a convenient place such as your desktop.

   Note: Do not upgrade the firmware using a wireless connection. Please perform firmware upgrade with "wired" or Ethernet connection only.
   

2. Open a Web browser.
3. Access the router (http://192.168.1.1 or the Default Gateway address if the router's default IP was changed).
4. Log in the router (User Name = admin and Password = password, unless you changed it).
5. Write down all settings that you entered when previously configuring. This includes information such as ISP configuration and wireless security settings.
6. Under Maintenance, click Router Upgrade.
7. Click Browse and locate the firmware upgrade file.
8. Click Upload.
9. Wait for the router to reboot.
10. Under Maintenance, click Settings Backup, then click Erase. (Or press the reset button on the back for 10 seconds.)
11. Wait one minute for the router to reboot.
12. Manually enter the configuration information you wrote down in Step 5.

You don't.

The wireless adapter inside the router should have been configured with:
* SSID -- the "name" of your personal wireless network
* the encryption-level (probably 'WPA')
* the password associated with the SSID

Enter the SSID and the password into your handheld device, to connect to the wireless network.

Connect Router - Desktop

Open RSP By typing 192.168.2.1

On the Left side under Internet WAN Click Connection
Type

Leave the password blank and click Submit

The Connection Type Should Be Dynamic

Click Next

There should not be any Host name & Click apply

On the left Side Click MAC Address Under Internet WAN

Click Clone And Click Apply Changes

It Should Work

open a browser and put in the IP address of the router in the address bar .( http://192.168.0.1 ) and hit enter
you will be prompted by a login screen. Check the manual for the routers login name and password ( should be admin / password ) Once you get in the web interface of the router, you should be able to fnd the firmware version.
Hope this helps thanks Ranjit
