Ezxs55w default password - NetGear GS605 5x1000 Mbps Networking Switch

Should be 192.168.1.1. Start > Run >type ipconfig /all. Default Gateway id the IP. You can also reset the router.

All routers support DHCP and Static, if you need static, you will need port forwarding.

there is a guide on the cisco/linksys web site at
http://homesupport.cisco.com/en-us/wireless/lbc/EZXS55W

it even has a faq section to help you install it

Perhaps because the EZXS55W is a switch, not a router. If your DSL modem does not contain a router of its own, it will only talk to one device. If you want to connect more than one computer, printer, etc. in your house to your internet connection, that one device connected to your DSL modem needs to be a router, not a switch.

I don't believe you can open a port on this switch. You need an actual router to be able to open ports. The switch itself is not routing anything, just acting as a switch. You will probably need to connect a router to be able to open/forward ports.

While the "no configuration required" feature seems nice when purchasing this switch, it unfortunately does not allow you to configure it when you do want to.

You need to do a factory reset of your wireless router. This should clear the password in it. There is no password for your 5-port switch.

Hello Friend
You could definately use Network Switch-10/100 5-port model#EZXs55w to Connect to Network Router or Modem using Uplink Port at back Panel of 10/100 5-port model#EZXs55w Switch.
Simply Connect Modem cable to Uplink Port of Switch and connect computers to other 2 ports of switch. Allow computers to get Automatic ip addresses..if computers still not getting ip addresses auto--contact cable company and config your cable modem to use NAT or enable NAT--

Hi,
If you login to your router and make sure DCHP is enabled, and then go to Services (services.msc) on your computers and make sure that the DCHP Client is running, it'll automatically assign IP addresses for your computers and they'll both connect okay.

Hope this helps
