We never set up a password for our Linksys G broadband router. I have followed directions by entering http://198.162.1/1 in my search engine and when he window pops up I input admin in my password field but get a msg 401 unautohrized. I need to set up a password for my router an you help me?

Excited for my first answer : Its very simple

1. Enter "192.168.1.1 for web-based set-up.
2. Default Password is "admin" and User name is blank.
3. Click Administration tab> Management section - enter the new password and Save Settings.

Linksys reset

The easiest method of resetting your Linksys router's password is to reset your router back to the default factory settings. This is done by simply holding down the reset button located on the back of the unit for at least 30 seconds. Once the router has been reset, it must be reconfigured. Using your web browser go to URL address http://192.168.1.1. You will then be prompted to login to your router. A log-in screen asking for the password will automatically appear. At this time enter the default password "admin", in lower case letters into the password field. The username field may be left blank at this time. (Note: both the default username and default password are set to "admin" on some of the newer Linksys router models).

GET BACK TO ME

Hello, In browser address window,enter 192.168.1.1. This will open your router settings. It will ask for a Username and password. I believe Username is "admin". You may not have to enter a password. If you do enter "admin" for password also. Once in to settings you'll see a link for "wireless". Click it and from there you can change Username, password,SSID(Router Nmae) and enable WEP security. There will be directions and explanation for most all questions. If there is more I can answer, please let me know. Hope this helps.
