Hi, I'm on Verizon high speed internet. Just upgraded from DSL. My Mac computer connects easily using it's built-in Airport wireless. My wife's PC worked fine with an ethernet connection. In our new apartment that's not practical. So I bought a Netgear 802.11g adapter for her. But it requires a WEP code to work. I no longer have the manual (or CD, if there was one) for the Westell model 327w (router/modem?), and I don't know how to access the information I had written inside. How do I find that info? Or if I reset the unit, will I need a CD to re-configure it? Or will we both then just automatically be able to get online? What should I do?

Type 192.168.1.1 into your web browser address bar, which will allow you to access the routers settings(do this from a computer that is connected to the router, of course). Once inside, use the default user name 'admin' and the password 'password' to conduct any changes you would like to make. If you need to reset the router becuase you've changed the password and have now forgotten, look for a small hole somewhere at the back of the router, and push a pin in (carefully) until you feel you've pressed a small button. That should bring your router back to factory settings.
