If the acct/PW don't work, try "admin" for the password, too. Early on in the product, they were both "admin". The 327W BTW is a NAT router/gateway and their site has lots of good information too. Another way to reset the 327W is to simply stop all traffc and hold down the reset button on the bottom. The docs say hold it for 60 seconds, but I've found aroung 24 S sufficient; no idea why the discrepency. To access the 327W from Explorer, or course, just enter http://dslrouter/ in the address bar. The settings window will open and everything from settings to logs will be available. The manual is also on their site to further explain things.
