How to reset the linksys wrt54gs to original ip address and login information?

Q. I have a new internet address on my router for the internet and i forgot my stuff for the linksys router/bridge that i am using and now i need to restore it and connect it to my current router wirelessly and get the internet on there as well

A. Push a pin or tip of a paperclip inside the small hole at the back of the router. Hold it for at least 15 secs until the power light comes off and back on. That should reset the router to defaults.

Original Question

If you reset a Linksys router will it do anything to the connections its already setup to?

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!.

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.

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.

Dane

I have Linksys to set up my home network and wifi, I lost CD software, how can I secured network?

Q. My home now has Wifi and I can access internet wirelessly and everything. The wifi is secured but it is with a default code that is very long and it would be easier to make a personal password instead of a long one that I can't remember. I lost CD software, are there any other options? I run both a Mac Leopard OS and a Microsoft Windows Vista OS.

A. What's the model number of your router?

try visiting the following urls in your browser, one should trigger a router login page:
http://192.168.0.1
http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.2.1
(Please note that these IP addresses are internal network addresses- they cannot connect to any website on the internet and are safe to visit- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network )

Usually linksys routers use the following username/password combos:
(blank)/admin
admin/admin
admin/password

(Note: this is different than the password you'd use to connect wirelessly to your router)

If those fail search for "(model name) default password".

Once you're in, go to the security or wireless tab (It will vary by router) and you should be able to change the wireless password.

Hope this helps!

How to connect to wireless Internet via linksys wireless adapter.?

Q. Hi I just got a linksys wireless adapter for my desktop and it won't connect to my linksys wireless router. It gets a signal but it won't connect to it. The weird thing is my iPod touch 2nd generation will connect to the wireless Internet. Please Help.

A. hey,you delema may just be a simple error donn't panic.
ok so what grade is your router and adapter?this is the radio signal grade currently 802.11 the most common is 802.11g there are others but lets not worry about that,the problem could be that your wireless adapter is out of range or somthing else,it wont connnect but it can get a signal,probobly out of range if you have 2 bar signal most adapters wont connect,normally because it takes so long to recive an "answer" from the router,what you have to do is either move your computer closer to the door in your room or move your router to the next avalible phone jack thats cloaser to your PC,then it should work,im not sure about LINKSY but try this,go to start run/search cmd,then tyoe "ipconfig" without quotes, go to default gateway and there'll be an ip address then copy that ip address into your internet address bar and hit enter,it will probobly come up with a username and password normaly blank or admin for both,then go to WLAN settings and uncheck protected mode,QoS activation and WLAN security,WPA/WPA2/PSK, then try to connect on your wireless computer if that does not work then try,the complicated way,im not sure if you can do this on LINKSY but have a go,change beacin interval and DTIM interval to minimum change TX and RX chainmask to max increase TXopLimit and then it should work.no luck? contact LINKSY and see what they say or another thing you can do is change wirelss channels each channel is seperated by 0.000100GHz if you live in area where there are more that 2 wireless divices this may be the best thinng to try.
lots of luck

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!

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.

Default Router login belongs to different router other than mines?

Q. I tried default IP 192.168.1.1 to login to my router but at username/password screen another router model # ( WGR614v6 ) is there. I have logged in before and this is the first time thats happened

A. its probably another linksys router

a neighbor must have installed one



i would advise connecting to the router (directly - with a CAT-5 cable)

and.. just for good measure, turn off your wireless (to ensure you're *only* talking over-the-wire)



THEN try to login - i would say make your network 192.168.10.x (just do whatever it takes to deconflict it from your neighbor's)

If you reset a Linksys router will it do anything to the connections its already setup to?

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.

Regards,

Dane

I have Linksys to set up my home network and wifi, I lost CD software, how can I secured network?

Q. My home now has Wifi and I can access internet wirelessly and everything. The wifi is secured but it is with a default code that is very long and it would be easier to make a personal password instead of a long one that I can't remember. I lost CD software, are there any other options? I run both a Mac Leopard OS and a Microsoft Windows Vista OS.

A. What's the model number of your router?

try visiting the following urls in your browser, one should trigger a router login page:
http://192.168.0.1
http://192.168.1.1
http://192.168.2.1
(Please note that these IP addresses are internal network addresses- they cannot connect to any website on the internet and are safe to visit- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network )

Usually linksys routers use the following username/password combos:
(blank)/admin
admin/admin
admin/password

(Note: this is different than the password you'd use to connect wirelessly to your router)

If those fail search for "(model name) default password".

Once you're in, go to the security or wireless tab (It will vary by router) and you should be able to change the wireless password.

Hope this helps!

ok so what grade is your router and adapter?this is the radio signal grade currently 802.11 the most common is 802.11g there are others but lets not worry about that,the problem could be that your wireless adapter is out of range or somthing else,it wont connnect but it can get a signal,probobly out of range if you have 2 bar signal most adapters wont connect,normally because it takes so long to recive an "answer" from the router,what you have to do is either move your computer closer to the door in your room or move your router to the next avalible phone jack thats cloaser to your PC,then it should work,im not sure about LINKSY but try this,go to start run/search cmd,then tyoe "ipconfig" without quotes, go to default gateway and there'll be an ip address then copy that ip address into your internet address bar and hit enter,it will probobly come up with a username and password normaly blank or admin for both,then go to WLAN settings and uncheck protected mode,QoS activation and WLAN security,WPA/WPA2/PSK, then try to connect on your wireless computer if that does not work then try,the complicated way,im not sure if you can do this on LINKSY but have a go,change beacin interval and DTIM interval to minimum change TX and RX chainmask to max increase TXopLimit and then it should work.no luck? contact LINKSY and see what they say or another thing you can do is change wirelss channels each channel is seperated by 0.000100GHz if you live in area where there are more that 2 wireless divices this may be the best thinng to try.

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!
