A-1-Computer_TechThe default IP address for the Linksys router is 192.168.1.1 which you would enter into Internet Explorer or your browser. Then it asks for your User Name and Password. If you know these you can enter then change the settings as required. Somebody once hacked my wireless settings which had not been protected - I just phoned my ISP helpdesk & they put me right. Maybe you could do the same? Hope this helps. You could also look at the link below: http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Wireless_Routers&message.id=7266

Re: Wireless router password help Posted by: "scottiques" [EMAIL PROTECTED] scottiques Thu Aug 21, 2008 4:08 am (PDT) Thank you to all that responded to my question. Please let me clarify. I would like to know what the difference is between the password and passphrase on my wireless modem. (Linksys) I'm very confused by wireless and don't understand it (even though I managed to get it working fine) I want to change my password to make it longer but I don't know how to access it. And I don't know how to access the passphrase either. I know I had to enter both of these during the set up process but don't know how to change now.

Re: Wireless router password help Posted by: "Ian" [EMAIL PROTECTED] igbuk Thu Aug 21, 2008 6:32 am (PDT) I am not sure what you want now. I sent you an explanation about the difference between Password and Passphrase. Do you have a modem or wireless router? Are you now asking how to set up a wireless network, if so go here. Http://www.bris.ac.UK/is/computing/advice/homeusers/broadband/homenetwork HTML If you are wanting to to change a security passphrase you need to log into your router Website. It should tell you where and how in your Linksys manual Ian -------Original Message------- From: scottiques Date: 21/08/2008 12:08:46 To: [email protected] Subject: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Re: Wireless router password help Thank you to all that responded to my question.
