The tips and tricks page has had a list of routers for a couple of years
already listing their default passwords and I P addresses.

Hi Mike, thanks for these instructions. I was able to go into my own
router
and see what it is like in there.

Hi Again Mark,
This is what I learned from 1 of my best friends about how to access a
router since I typed to you last:
1. type, C M D, into the run dialogue using lower case letters & press
enter to open the command prompt.
2. Now, type, ipconfig, & press enter. That's I P C O N F I G.
3. Now, route the Jaws cursor to the PC cursor, press page up, & arrow
down
1 line at a time until you hear,
Default gateway & the numbers next to, Default Gateway will be your IP
address.
Default Gateway 192.168.1.1
The numbers including the points is your Router IP address.
4. Press the PC cursor key to go back to the PC cursor & type, exit, &
press enter to exit the command prompt.
5. When you put your IP address into the run dialogue you need to put,
http://, in front of the IP address. So, this is what it would look
like in the run dialogue:
http://192.168.1.1
6. Type, http://192.168.1.1,
into the Run Dialogue & press enter. Now, tab to the password edit
field, type in your password, tab to okay, & press enter. You will
now be in your router settings.
The IP address for your or anyone elses router might be different than
the
1
above but, look for Default Gateway to find your IP address.
Take care.
Mike

Hi
I could be wrong, but the only way I know of to be completely
certain of getting the router brand is to ask a sighted person. Once
you have that you can search the web for the IP addresses used by the
manufactorer.
Sometimes the mottle number is not clear even to a sighted person. One
trick to find the brand of router is: if you have your wireless on
your router turned on, look in your wireless connection. If it is
lleft in the basic format, it will say something like 2wire 482. Where
2wire is the brand and
482 is the mottle number. If you are lucky and are able to find this
information under the wireless connection. it makes searching for the
IP address faster.
I hope this helps.

Hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your reply. I thought I had my router name &
model# saved somewhere but, I don't! I have all my modem info saved
but, that doesn't do me any good at the moment. Is there somewhere in
the computer that will tell me what brand the router is? I've looked
in the device manager & in the control panel but, I'm not sure if I
looked in the correct places. I'm running XP Pro, I forgot to mention
this in my original post.
Thanks again.
Take care.
Mike

Hi Mike,
Nomemally, the router has an IP address that one puts in the
address bar of their web browser. If you know the name and mottle
number of your router, you can usually find the IP address on line.
Anyway this should open what looks like a web page. However, it is
actually coming from within your router. This page usually has all the
access to the settings for the router.
One thing I do know from experience is that you may have to try a few
different IP addresses since manuactorers may use several for
different mottles ETC.
I hope this helps.

Hi All,
I've been hearing a lot about Plug & Play needing to be turned off in
the router to help prevent someone from accessing it, how do I open
the router to check this setting? All help will be greatly
appreciated. Thank you all very much.
Take care.
Mike
