Is there a way to change internet password on a linksys wrt54g?

Q. My friend a has a Linksys WRT54G wireless internet and I want to change the password to his wireless internet, but I can't figure out the password. I have a ethernet cable but I still cannot login without knowing the password when I type in the url 192.168.1.1.

Is there a way to bypass that or figure it out again? I don't want to reset the whole thing cause it's not mine.

A. you need to ask his password. also it depend if your friends lives in the same house as you cause linksys wireless is not a satelight that you can connect from anywhere


How do i delete a wireless network?
Q. I accidentally set up a wireless network on my router without a password. I can't access that network's settings though because I set up another network after, so I can only change the settings on that one. I have a linksys wrt54g. I tried resetting the security, and that reset the newer network, but the older one without a password is still broadcasting, and my neighbors are still using it. How can i access the settings, or just do a master reset?

A. Once you reset the WRT54G, everything will be seti into factory defaults. If you have an old network and you wanted it to be deleted, you are referring of deleting the preferred networks. Through this, you will remove the old profile or the old network that has been stored on your PC.

If you're using Windows XP Service Pack 2, just click view available wireless networks on the wireless icon at the bottom right side. Look for change the order of preferred networks at the left side and click it. Go to wireless tab. Under it, you will see a preferred networks box. If you see your old network, highlight it and click remove.

Those names under the preferred networks box are the networks you have been connected. Once you connect to a certain network, a profile will be stored and created to the PC that's why after restarting your computer, you still can access the Internet without connecting and typing the network key.

Hope this works!


What is wrong with my Linksys wrt54g router?
Q. Yesterday the power to my house went off and came back up in a second or so. But after that my Linksys wrt54g router would not send out signal to the house. I have held down the reset button on the back and unpluged and plugged it back up. And It still will not send out the signal but the modem that its connected to is getting internet because I ran an ethernet cable from the modem to my laptop and its working fine.

A. I had that happen to me a couple years ago. I had the same router.
It destroyed the router. (Never damaged the modem) The router would not work anymore. I just went to wal-mart and got a new router. If you have had the router less than a year you can call tech support and it wont cost anything.

How can I get my Linksys WRT54G router to work again?
Q. I was attempting to change the channel on my Linksys WRT54G, but I forgot my password, so I performed a reset and ever since then, I haven't been able to reconnect to the internet through my server. I've tried running the software that came with the router to no avail. I keep getting error messages. I don't recall specifically what the messages were, but they were along the lines of "Can't configure the router. Press the reset button." But it never works. What can I do to get it back? I need it for my TiVo and my Wii!

A. Try to get in to your router page again. Just launch Internet Explorer and type 192.168.1.1. The username is <blank> and the password is "admin". If you're using a DSL connection, look for internet connection type and change it to PPPOE. Type in the username and password provided by your ISP. If you don't know what it is contact your ISP.

If you're using a cable connection, under <Setup> click on the subcategory <MAC Address Clone>. Click on <Enable> and then click on clone your PC's MAC. Then click on <Save Settings>.

If these steps does not work, turn off your modem,unplug the router from the power and turn off the computer as well (the one directly connected to the router. After powering off everything, wait for 20 seconds and then turn on the modem first. Wait for the lights to go stable and then power up the router, wait for 15 seconds then turn on the computer.

If this still won't work try to call up linksys.
