How can I set up two router in my network?1 router is wired, while the second 1 is wireless.?

Q. I'm using Linksys BEFSR41 w/ IP Address 192.168.0.1 for my main router connected to my modem.2nd router wrt160n, but i cannot connect to the internet.What do i need to do?

A. I'm going to assume Router 1 = wired to ADSL. Router 2 = wireless .

Trick is, R2 has to be wired to R1 AND R2 has to know that to get to the internet it must use the wired link to R1 and NOT it's own internal ADSL/ phone socket (which won't be connected to anything).

I've checked the wrt160n user manual, and, as far as I can tell, it can't do this ..


How can I manage time of my home wireless?
Q. I need to manage time of my children in using internet. I often turn off the router to do this. However, if my children turn on the router, they continue using internet. How can I disconnect wireless of computers although my children turn on the router. My house use wireless. Thanks

A. Many routers will allow you to set times that the connection will work. Read your router's manual to see if yours offers that feature. If it doesn't, an update to the firmware might implement that feature. If not, you'll have to replace the router with one that does. I know for a fact that both the Linksys WRT160N and Netgear WRN834B V2 routers support that feature set. There are probably other routers from those manufacturers that support it, as well as routers from other manufacturers that do.

Tip: Make SURE to set a hardened password and keep it secret from the kids! Kids have an annoying habit of being able to figure these things out!


how to find out my router password?
Q. Im trying to make a server for me and my friend, but I have to portforward the IP (entering 192.168.1.1 in the url bar). When i do that, it comes up with a username and password box, but I dont know either. My router model is a cisco, linksys, wrt160n v3, and I have tried all of the standard user and passwords (admin and admin, ect...). Please help, I am getting fustrated, and thanks!

A. Download the WRT160N V3 manual: http://downloads.linksys.com/downloads/userguide/1224640959708/WRT160N_V10_UG_A-WEB.pdf

The default username is "blank" (nothing) and the default password is "admin".

Connect a PC or laptop via Ethernet to one of the router's LAN ports and follow the instructions in the manual to set it up.

If the password has been changed and you don't know the login password you'll have to reset the router to factory default state. The instructions for resetting will be in the manual. If the router is reset to factory default, thus erasing all user modified settings then it will revert to the default passwords listed above and in the manual.

Be sure to change the default password of the administrative interface of your router for security.

Good Luck...

A. Have you set up the router to accept wireless signals? Have you looked at the wireless configuration pages (type 192.168.1.1 into a browser address bar)? Have you read the manual for the router? Have you read the manual for the Internet card? Have you Googled for a solution?
