Setting up sucruity

You need to use your browser to log in to your router. Locate the guest account in the menu and set a new password. If you'd like, many routers allow you to disable guest accounts entirely. If you need specific step-by-step instructions, I need to know what brand and model router you are using, what OS your computer has, and what browser you use for accessing the internet.

Log in via http://192.168.0.1 (default "username: Admin and no pass")
Go to setup tab ----> wireless settings ---->Manual Wireless Network Setup
You will see your SSID under Wireless Network Name

When you first installed your router, you used the "Wireless Networking Setup Wizard" to"
* set an SSID ("network-name") for your network.
* set an encryption-level. Hint: use 'WPA' or 'WPA2'.
* set a password or pass-phrase for your network.

Enter that password. Or, rerun that Wizard, to create new settings.

After connecting modem(1) to router (2) connect your computer (3).
(4) Power on your modem, wait for modem to cycle(approx 2 minutes)
(5) Power on your router.
(6) Insert your CD - Click Router Setup & follow steps to setup secure wireless network...
NO CD DRIVE INSTALLATION
IN YOUR BROWSER ADDRESS FIELD:
http://www.routerlogin.net & click ENTER

1. Enter the router User Name admin & default password password to open your router's main settings page.
2. Main settings page, you'll be asked if you want to "Check for Update". Click Cancel. ( you can always check for new firmware after you're connected to internet)
3 Choose first menu item on left; Setup Wizard & make sure YES is selected
click NEXT, follow prompts complete setup.
SET UP WIRELESS SECURITY

• 1. From main page choose Wireless settings
• 2. Name your network- something easy to remember (Hint* People see it when you are up & running, write it down as well!) {The default name is NETGEAR}
  
• 3. Select your security method. NETGEAR recommends: WPA-PSK(TKIP +WPA2-PSK (AES).
• THEN, enter a Pass-phrase {Write down also, you will get e-mail confirming registration etc... But, BSTS.
  
• NOTE: Both your Network Name (SSID) & Pass phrase are case sensitive. Network name, Security method & Pass phrase must all be the same on all the wireless devices connected to your router.

• 4. Click APPLY & close your browser.

Depending on your cable/internet provider- if these instructions don't do it,
one of their agents should be kind enough to assist?
I was lucky enough to have them do it with me over the phone, after I had surgery & got sick of looking of the thing in the box in my floor!
Good Luck!

To answer the question "Where can I get my network key?" Your network key is set or saved on the router setup page. To get this, just open your browser (Internet Explorer or Firefox) on the computer that is wired directly to the router. Then type in the address bar http://192.168.1.1/or http://192.168.0.1/ the address will depend on the version of your router, or just try both, it will ask you for a user name and password, by default the user name is admin and password is password. Once you're on the setup page of your router click on the wireless settings on the left hand panel. Then look for the wireless security settings - if the security is set to WEP - Key1 will be the network key or which ever has a tick. Or if the security is set to WPA the pass phrase is your network key. Now that you know the network you can now type it once you are prompted when try to connect to your network.

If the pass phrase has already been setup.
And you do not know what it is.
Hold the reset button down to reset to factory defaults. Reset button is between the antenna and the ethernet plug. Little large hole than the rest near the bottom of the chrome grill. Good light you can see the black reset button.
Good luck!

Connect to the router via Ethernet cable, this should give you access to the routers setup, there you can see and change the setup.

Your going to have to get in to the administration portion of the router to setup port forwarding.....without this access you can't do anything to forward the ports....

There should be someone who has this access as it sounds like your in a dorm/apartment environment....

there is a main reset button on the router

befor you bo anything go to you network connecting and then go to the connecting your using and write down all the ip adders befor you push teh reset button

Hi,

The admin user name and blank password, is a default setting of the dlink, perhaps somebody would have changed the default setting on it, Hence Please press the reset button and reset the device to factory defaults, you may need to press the reset button for 30 secs and once the reset is done, Unplug the power for 120 secs and then turn it back on. And now you can try the same, I strongly feel that it should work now, Furthermore the settings saved on the router would be set to factory defaults hence, you may need to configure the router/Modem for internet connectivity.

Kindly let me know the Kind of internet service that you are using for 'Help with modem/router configuration'

Happy Troubleshooting!!

Try a public DNS server, like:

205.234.170.215

205.234.170.217

There are many more, if you just want to 'Google' for them, IE; "Public Name Servers"

Let me know if there are any changes..
