Vonage/Linksys Password?
Q. I don't know what my wifi password is. My father forgot it and I'm trying to figure out what i can do. We have a Linksys WRT160N V3 router if it matters. I try going to our I.P. address but it takes me to the Vonage login screen. It says the Username is router but my father has forgotten the password. What should i do?
A. 1. On the back of the router there is a small RESET button. Use a pen to press and hold it down for at least 30 seconds. This will reset your router's configuration to the factory defaults.
2. Now type this into your web browser and hit enter: http://192.168.1.1
3. If it asks for the username/password: Refer to your router's manual to find it. By default, the username is "admin" and the password is "admin" (no quotes).
4. At the top of the router configuration page, click the "Wireless" tab then underneath that the "Wireless Security" sub-tab.
5. Select your preferred wireless security mode from the drop-down box that appears: WEP, WPA Personal/Enterprise, WPA2 Personal/Enterprise.
6. Type in your desired password and click the "Save Settings" button at the bottom.
7. At the top, click the "Administration" tab then the "Management" sub-tab. In the "Router Password" box, type in your desired password (this password will need to be entered when attempting to access http://192.168.1.1) then re-enter to confirm. Scroll down and click the "Save Settings" button at the bottom again.

OPTIONAL:
The WRT160N V3 comes with faulty firmware that will cause slowdowns and disconnections. I recommend you download the newest firmware v3.0.03 here:
http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/WRT160N
1. Click the "Downloads" tab, select "Version 3.0" from the drop-down box, and click Download.
2. After the download, upgrade your router by going to the "Administration" tab then the "Firmware Upgrade" sub-tab on the router's configuration page.
3. From there, click the "Browse" or "Choose File" button, open the .bin firmware file you just downloaded, and click "Start to Upgrade".
Hope this helped.

Linksys wrt160N problem?
Q. I bought linksys 160N last night but there is a problem as when i turn on the router, sometimes the lights turn on but sometimes don't and when lights didn't turn on, there is a very tiny sound comes out of router. Also i got DC a lot. please help me out
A. My solution:
- only use the linksys wrt160N as an accespoint : don't use the internet port on the router !!!
ONLY USE THE Ethernet ports (1, 2, 3, 4) for ALL your network traffic
- disable DHCPserver on the wrt160N
The DHCP server/internetport causes the problems on the wrt160n, so the router dropped the wired/wireless internetconnection).
The DHCP server on the modem/router works good, "he is the boss in your network" : disable the dhcp-server on the linksys wrt160N, it can conlict anymore and don't want to be the boss anymore in your network.
One DHCP-boss in your network is enough
Setup:
router ip = 192.168.1.9
DHCP server --> disabled (don't forget !!)
Wireless: Manual
BASIC WIRELESS SETTING :
network mode = Wireless-G only ( my laptop has G ... and no N)
Networkname (SSID) = PIETJE&puk (example)
standard channel = 11 - 2.462GHZ (no conflicts with my DECTphone anymore)
SSID broadcast = disabled
WIRELESS MACFILTER (OPTIONAL) : ENABLED
access restictions= permit PC's ....
mac adres list = < wireless macadres laptop/pc >
administration:
router password = THis&4evER (example of strong password )
(wireless)remote access = disabled

Connecting 2 Linksys Routers?
Q. I bought a Linksys WRT160N wireless router a few months ago and hooked it up, with my laptop connected wirelessly, and an xbox 360 and 2 computers connected wired. The wired connections frequently lost connection, so i am wondering if i can connect my wireless router to a wired linksys router. I have heard of wireless access points, but would making the second router (wireless router) an access point still allow my laptop to connect and use the internet? So, in conclusion, is it possible to connect a wired and wireless router together on the same modem and still have them both provide internet?
A. Yes, you can do that. However, the process is complicated, and you will need to consult your manual and/or the Linksys website support for details. Basically, you're NOT using the router part of the wireless router at all, but only as an access point. It's known as "pass-thru".
