Hi Ian, You are correct they are normally a single digit but this one is correct.
This morning I decided to go to basics and read the manual (us techies do not normally need to do this) and it clearly states in the manual that in order to gain access to the set up page the properties for the wireless adaptor need to be set up in particular way to gain access to the set up menu. This I have now done and bingo, up popped the set up menu (should have read the manual and not assumed it was like others I have used in the past). Once setup and the IP address adjusted to fall within the range of my normal network and the adaptor reset to automatically select an IP for itself via the router, everything is now working perfectly. Who said that you cannot teach old dog new tricks? It just goes to show that even the most experienced of us can still be caught out by simple things and that it is very dangerous to make assumptions and that we should always check the manuals thoroughly. The beast in question is a Belkin F5D7130. Many thanks for your thoughts on this topic anyway. --- In [email protected], "Ian" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If I read you correctly you are attempting to log into your routers web page > to set up a WAP or stronger password.
