I saw the responses by Donk and Ian and hope that you or an installer went in and changed the router password from the default. If you have not, you have left yourself open to hacking. The factory defaults can be easily learned.
If your router already has a password and you do not know it, you are going to have to reset the device to factory defaults. There should be a reset that you can insert a pin into. press it for five seconds. After that, Donk and Ian's instructions can be used.
