Here is the answer from Linksys itself- The default IP Address is 192.168.1.1. Leave the username field blank and the password is "admin". Key to this is to leave the username field BLANK.

DHCP and static IP are two different things. DHCP assigns IP addresses, and static Ip just means that the IP address stays the same, and is not dynamic. You probably need to reset the modem to accept what it sees as a :"new" router. Turn off both router and modem. Restart the modem first, give it a minute to boot up, then turn on the router- in that order. It should be ok now.

First, use a lan calble to reach the router. Then check the settings on the router and see what ip address is assigned to your laptop. Also check the password setting on the router. Try using WPS as an alternative to setting up the password, etc. WPS will work with either a pin number or push button. It should solve your problem. If not, then use the first solution, although it may be a little more complicated for you. Last thing you can do is go to into Microsoft's network and sharing center, and choose "manage wireless networks" and make sure the adapter is "enabled".

Your printer is probably going into "sleep" mode after "X" minutes, which may be causing the problem. Use the led interface on the printer to keep it out of sleep mode and that may help.

Since you flashed your router, you need to reset your modem as well, so it recognizes the "New" router. Turn off both router and modem. Turn on modem first, give it a minute to boot up, then turn on router and you should be ok.

I would first get a new Ethernet cable and try it. If that doesn't fix it, call your cable company and have them do a diagnostic from their end. They can tell if it is their equipment or not. It their modem is OK, and the Ethernet cable is OK, then your LAN (Ethernet) card is either going bad, or possibly not completely inserted in the socket. To check: turn off and unplug your PC. Take the side off, look where the Ethernet cable goes into your computer. If it is on the motherboard, you may want to get a LAN card and use it instead of the onboard. If the cable goes into a card plugged into one of the slots, make sure it is fully inserted. If it is, you may want to get a new card.

Don't try to repair. a chip, or just the power supply will cost more than a new router. Also new reuters perform better

A Cisco E3200 has a default IP of 192.168.1.1 Make sure you are connected to the router through an ethernet cable if you dont know the current wifi password yet. Enter that number into your browsers address bar exactly as I had shown. It will ask you for a username and password. Usually for the E3200, the default user and pass are both " admin ", so you should be able to log in rather quick. From there you can find the security settings and change the password which will look like WPA Key or WPA2-PSK depending on personal preference. You should choose WPA2-PSK, as its the strongest in terms of security and cannot be hacked easily.

There may be competing wireless routers or networks nearby on the same band. Within the router's interface, try switching to a different band (2.4 Ghz vs. 5.0 Ghz) or use different radio channels. By default the router will attempt to do this automatically, but you may want to try adjusting them yourself and see what you get.

To factory reset a router, there should be a reset button on the back of the unit near the power button. Usually you can press and hold this with a pen or pencil (or bent paperclip point) while the unit is plugged in, then unplug the router while holding the reset button down and power it back on. Do this for about 5-10 seconds and it should return it to factory spec.
