Hello, there`s no pin hole in my SMCWBR14-G2, in order to reset the router, and i'm also trying to connect local with 192.168.1.0 but it doesn't connect eather. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes there is only a LITTLE hole in the back - use a tooth pick to push in the hole. Sometimes just unplugging for a couple of minutes helps

Well, once reset you will need to login to the interface and resetup all the connection information. You can do that from the WEB interface just logon and reset. No special software (except a web browser) is needed.
I think the SMC default address is http://192.168.2.1 just log on and set it up. Resetting just restores the factory defaults, it does not erase the system.

Rarely does a router need software on a computer. Even the linksys that have a big sticker USE CD FIRST -- its only there for those who don't understand routers!

There is a good help forum for SMC at

We have used gtalk with static ip number. Sounds more like the port it uses isn't open. It could be that they block the port at your office. When using static ip numbers the gateway must be the number of the router in order for it to get out to the internet.

Hi ,
I got your issue, Inorder to reset the username and password to the default setting the only way is to reset the router , look on the router you will have a pin hole button, push that reset button for 10 -20 sec. Then you can login to the router using username 'smcadmin', password - 'admin' or 'blank'.

Thanks & Regards,
Prema.

...I bought a new router ;-)

Hi,
From your description, I am assuming you have a direct ethernet connection from an RJ45 connection in a jack in the wall. If this is the case, then you would just need to purchase a wireless router (linksys, D-link, netgear, etc). Connect the ethernet connection from the wall to the routers internet or WAN port. You will need to access the routers firmware configuration and set it to connect with PPPoE, so get your username and password from your ISP if you are not sure what it is.

You will be able to continue to have the PC plugged into the router with an ethernet cable, and then run the laptop with a wireless connection, just be sure to configure the laptop with the security key if applicable.

If you were using a software PPPoE connection on your PC, quit using it. Just set your network adapters on both computers to DHCP, and you should be good to go.

Hope this helps

Hi Remaku,

First type 192.168.0.1 into the internet url box. That's the local IP address of the router. It should take you to a router settings screen and prompt you for a username and address.
If it doesn't, then you have to reset the router, by pressing the reset button. The reset button is inside a small hole on the back of the router. You need something sharp like a paper clip, to press it in, and hold for 15 seconds.


Then wait for about a minute for all the lights to stop flashing and remain lit.
If you still cannot connect to the router now, then your network device on your PC is not configured properly, or you may have to go to Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections tab, and make sure it is set to 'Never Dial a Connection'.

My router needs reset every so often though, so that is probably the issue. Let me know how you get on..
Good Luck
