now open internet explorer and type in //192.168.1.1
Then it will prompt you for username and password
Username: admin
Passsword: password
this username and password is by default.

then configure your router as you need by changing display name, password authentication, MAC registration etc...

If you face problem with connecting internet even following the above steps, then you need to contact ISP(internet service provider) for settings.

All routers don't work the same. You have assigned to the second router to an IP address that is outside of the pool. Some routers will not see this. Try assigning the second router to the .50 IP and see if it is identified. If so, you know that is your problem. You can then decide to either reassign the second router's IP to a high address in the pool, or use the .50 IP and in the first router, use the advanced settings to reserve the .50 address to the second router so it will not re inadvertently assigned to another device, causing an IP conflict.

First I suggest you get a UPS and attach ALL your devices on battery backup. Power surges/power interruptions could be detrimental to your electronics. After a Power Interruptions ALL your devices may have to be rebooted one by one, allowing each to selftest.

A browser can not affect your router. Some thing else would be th cause I would suggest upgrading the firmware to your wireless router.

Check for a reset button on the back of the router. this should reset everything and you can go through the setup process again. default username upon resetting should be admin and password is probably blank. If you have any more problems respond back and ill see what i can do.

Access your router with insturctions below then find the security tab and decide what type security you want.
The only secure encryption is WPA2.

When you allow WPA-TKIP to be run alongside for compatibility, you just eliminated the only security you had.


All of the other "security" methods for a home router are useless. Disabling or altering the SSID broadcast does not protect the connection from anything, and neither does MAC filtering. Both are trivial to get around, and are more useful for administrative purposes such as load balancing between multiple access points on a network.
