as far as i know you cant. You can, however, reset the router and re-do the WEP, SSID, etc EDIT: reset the router by holding down the reset button until all the lights flash. Can take upto 30seconds. OR unplug the routers power for a few minutes. ---

> [@93dx--hatch](#): > > mine is 192.168.1.1 for my linksys router same here. Remember must be hardwired w/the static to do this. Just go in there and change your info and you’ll be fine. Or if its a wrt54g easy connect, just use the easy connect installer exe from linksys site and it can just bring up a config style menu for you ---

If he cant remember the password to his router, telling him how to get to the login page is useless. Because once he gets there, he still cant login without the password. ---

If he resets the router the password is the default that came with the router. I forgot what that actually is on the Linksys. Usually its just admin ---

if linksys… 192.168.1.1. u/n and password both admin. Click wireless, check security, find password. If you cant do that. Reset the router from the button on the back. You can connect again with no security key. Then just go to the router settings for the default IP and set everything up again ---

I figured it out last night, but i still cant get online. I just picked up a iBook for cheap so my girl can browse Victorias secrect site and stay the hell of my computer, but it keeps sayng that connection failed when trying to go to a website. It has the siginal and password from my wireless router so I dont know why it dosent work. It currently has OS 9.2, but I am about to install OS X on there instead. Anymore ideas? ---

And if the passkeys are not right, that would keep the iBook from getting on the internet. On the flip side, does the iBook see anything else on the network (local computers?)
