20 Most Recent Cisco Linksys Wirelessn Router Black (e1000) Questions & Answers

You'll have to reset the router. A hardware reset will beat it back into submission. Look for the reset button, usually well-hidden in the back. Hold it until the power led starts flashing (well, depends on your particular model). Then the password(s) all change back to their defaults.

You need to setup the port setting.

Unplug the modem and router, plug them back in. Wait ten minutes and restart your computer.

Pull the AC plug , wait 30 seconds or so, plug in, wait for selftest, reboot computer.

You don't need the CD. Post the make, model of computer and the OS on it.

If you connect to your router via the IP address you can make many changes, such as the password.
The default IP for your e1000 should be 192.168.1.1
If you go to this address with your web browser, you can then log in as the admin and change the password.
The default password should be admin (all lowercase).
Hope this works for you!

On the bottom of your router, you should have a series of numbers near the barcode & serial number. One of those numbers should be labeled WEP or something similar. You want to enter that code into your computer exactly how it is on the router. This will only work if nobody has changed the code in the past.

1. Prepare the Network

• Purchase and setup a wireless broadband router by interfacing it with your wired computer. Choose a router that is compatible with your broadband modem and that supports the wireless network type you desire.
• Enable WPA or WPA-2 security, and change your router's default password. Give your SSID or wireless network a memorable name.
• Connect your modem to the WAN (wide area network) port on your router.

1. Install an Internal Card

• Purchase a wireless network card that is compatible with the router you purchased and with your computer. For example, if you bought a 802.11 b/g router, do not purchase an 802.11 n adapter.

• Shut down your computer. Remove all cables and peripheral devices.

• Remove the left side panel while facing the front of the case. You may need to remove screws or to manipulate latches and notches. Consult your case or computer manufacturer's documentation if you are unsure of how to remove the panel.

• Clip the metal part of the anti-static wrist bracelet to a metal object, and ******** the bracelet.

• Locate an available PCI or PCI-Express slot. Unscrew the screw that secures the slot cover that corresponds with the slot, then remove the slot cover.

• Line up the wireless adapter's pins with the slot. Insert the card until it clicks into place. Do not force the card into the slot, or you may damage the card's connectors. If you feel resistance, remove the card, line up the card with the slot again, and reinsert.

• Secure the card with the slot cover screw. Reattach the side panel, and replace any screws you removed earlier.

• Reinsert all cables, and plug in all peripherals. Boot the computer.

• Allow Windows the opportunity to detect the card. It should automatically install the drivers for the card. If you have updated drivers, insert the disk and install according to on-screen instructions.

1. Install an External Card

• Boot up your computer.

• Insert your external wireless adapter into the appropriate slot. For example, if you purchased a USB slot, insert it into a USB port.

• Allow Windows the opportunity to detect the card. It should automatically install the drivers for the card. If you have updated drivers, insert the disk and install according to on-screen instructions

• Complete Setup

• Double-click the network icon in the task bar.

• Highlight your wireless network. Windows will display the name you entered when setting up your router

• Click the "Connect" button.

• Enter and verify the security key you created when setting up the router. Click on "Connect."

Hi Brian, I haven't had this specific problem, but I did have trouble with my E1000 losing connection often. What seemed to solve this for me was to update the Firmware. Have you tried that? You can go to Cisco's homepage and download the proper firmware for your router by following this link http://goo.gl/Ildp6. You will have to select your hardware version which you can tell by looking at the tags on the bottom of your router.

Hi,

Normally on the back of the routers there is a small reset button you can press and hold for 15 seconds. This will reset the unit.

The password is going to be saved in the router's memory. You would need to hook up a ethernet cable from a computer to the router, login to the router and get the password that way.
An alternative, if you have a laptop (that has windows on it) that is able to connect to the router. You can download SIW http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html Click on Passwords and it should display your wifi key.
Comment if you need more assistance.

Your out of luck. The only way to get back in is to do a full reset. Press and hold the buttong on the back of the router for 5 seconds. the light should flash and the router should be reset to how it was when you bought it. There is no other way.

Look under or in back of the router you will find a reset button press it with a paper clip or something similar for 20 seconds, that will take the router back to factory default with no security.
hope this helps have a great evening.

Press the Reset button on the router and hold it for 30 seconds. This will reset the router to how it was out of the box. The default for username and password both is "admin".

3.Note router name you are connecting to.
4.. Check the laptop/destop do ipconfig /all to see current IP addresses.
5. Set the laptop up in the router by WEP KEY or MAC address. This set up in the "security tab" in the router. using 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 to access through a browser.

This is for all routers to set up wirelessly.
8. check for firmware update at the manufacturers site for your model router
9. cell phones, cordless phones, digital TV's, can affect the data signal from a router. Also distance from the router can be a factor. If your router is in a basement place the router to a upper floor and center it in the room.

It depends. Eye of site it could connect 50 to 150 at the max

have you heard of the expression if it isn't broke dont fix it?

Unless you are having serious issues while playing games dont do anything, the only time that will affect you is if you stream 1080p video through the xbox . In other words if you watch high def movies on your xbox 360

Bring up the network connection, right click on the wireless network connecting and bring up properties. Select the wireless network tab and remove all networks from under "preferred networks." Once one, add your new network, you can specify the encryption keys under the association/authentication tab. One more thing, under the preferred networks, you have an advanced button. Hit that and select the second option.

If this does not work, try this website. It is for that router with walkthroughs.
