how do I change my linksys passphrase to access wireless from another computer in the house?

Q. So I just got a new laptop, and I have linksys wireless in my house. I forgot the passphrase to be able to access internet from my laptop. Other answers told me to go to 192.168.1.1 and go to administration, then change it there. I did that, but it's not working. How do I change or figure out my old linksys passphrase?

A. if you dont know the password you will have to reset the router back to factory settings


How do i delete devices on my linksys router?
Q. My linksys has 34+ devices on it and only 2 are min is there any way to delete the other devices?

A. There are several ways.

Easiet for end (non-technical) users is, reset your router to factory default settings and set new password on wireless connection.

For intermediate users, choose your devices in allow list by your MAC address of your wireless/network card. so, others will not be allowed to use your router as they are not listed in allow list.

Advance users, Follow both steps from above and set your local IP range to very small so other can't use it and try using static IP dedicated to your MAC id.

Seems that you are not too familiar with routers, as you are asking this question. I recommend you to take first option. Hope it helps!


I have a linksys router and im trying to setup wirless internet through a motorola surf board modem?
Q. I plugged the modem into the linksys router (internet port) and had another ethernet cord connecting to the linksys to the computer (when doing this the computer plugged in doesnt even have internet). I dont have a setup disk for the router, and the linksys setup wizard from the site doesnt seem to work.

A. This could be a lot of things.
1. Reset your cable modem. Unplug for 10 seconds, then plug back in
2. hold down the little button on the linksys router (even if brand new) for like 30 seconds. It should reset to factory defaults.
3. Plug modem into internet port on router.
4. Plug computer into a free port on the router.
5. Check computer settings to make sure it does not have a static ip address. you can do this by going to network connections, Local Area Connection (which should show as connected or plugged in), then right clicking and selecting properties. Then look for TCP/IP properties, and you should see the area where you can change the IP and DNS settings. Make sure these are all blank.
6. You can open internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 Just that. nothing else.
7. it will ask you for username and password. username is admin, password either blank , or admin.

that should get you into router setup.
