Q. I have a linksys router and i wanted to get internet on my wii. And i forget my password so i want to reset it, but im not sure if it will do anything to the computers that have hooked up to it already. Will it?
A. It will disconnect. Also, all your wireless computers will still be using the old encryption key and won't be able to connect to the router. Also, the router will no longer have your Internet Service Provider's gateway IP address and Domain Name Server IP addresses. You'll have to set them all back up again.
All for a Wii?
Here's how to find the encryption key: If the encryption key isn't on a label on your wireless modem or router, the likeliest place to find it is in your router's admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand. If you don't have a router, the following should apply to your modem itself.
Basically, to get into the admin pages, do this:
1.On a computer connected to a wired port on your router (wireless access to the admin pages should be turned off as a security risk), enter the router's local IP address in your browser's address window.ON A LINKSYS, THIS IS PROBABLY 192.168.1.1. THE LOGIN IS USUALLY A BLANK USERNAME AND ADMIN AS THE PASSWORD.
2.Poke around, especially under wireless security, until you find the encryption key. Copy it down EXACTLY. Copy-and-pasting it into a text file (Wordpad is generally best because it's on almost all Windows machines) is even better, as it can be copy-and-pasted from there into whatever needs it. When you see it, you'll understand why this is a good idea.
To find your router�s IP address in Windows:
3.Click on the Start->Run button.
4.In the text box, type
cmd
and press Enter.
5.A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter
ipconfig /all
A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.
Hope that helps.

How to open linksys firmware update on Imac?
Q. I just went to the linksys webpage and updated the firmware to 1.02.5 but the file never opened and said choose an application to open it. What would I used to open this file on an imac and set it up?
A. Don't open it just click cancel. Then go to 192.168.1.1 or what ever your router's ip is. Then log in, the default password is usually admin for name and a blank password or reverse it blank name and admin for the password. On the most common router, the WRT54G you click on administration on the top and then firmware upgrade. Then click choose file and click on the unopened .bin file. DO NOT uncompressed the .bin file it must be the original compressed .bin file or you could ruin the router!.
How to make Linksys wireless router private?
Q. I have a Linksys wireless router and want to keep it private. Can you tell me step-by-step what to do? Thank you!
A. One thing that one must do is password protect ones router in order to keep people from logging into your network and stealing sensitive data.
If you think offenders are logging into your network through a router, than password protect your router.
Log into your router. Set up the password there.
XP
1) Goto Start/Run
2) Type in "cmd"
Vista
1) Click the Start button
2) Type in "command"
Once you are in the command prompt:
1)Type in "ipconfig"
2) In your Internet browser type in "http://" followed by your default gateway (found in the command prompt)
***Example: http://192.168.1.1 (try clicking the link)
3) Login (search online for login info) Usually admin, password
3) There should be a link on the side somewhere. It should have several options like WEP, WPA etc.
Another method is implementing MAC addressing or dynamically assigned IP addresses.
