Yes0 every router has a litttle open hole in the rear. Open up a paper clip and push it into the hole and it will reset the router to factory defaults- such as admin and password (literallly), and then you can reset the password to your liking. Other choice is to connect an ethernet cable to the computer- that will bypass security and show you the current password

SOURCE: Unable to connect to wi-fi

I think it is saying that the wifi "card" is set so that it is not being configured by windows.

In XP

Control panel > Network connections

Under LAN or High-speed internet you will see an icon labelled wireless network connection. Right click on this and then click properties. You will see three tabs at the top
General - Wireless Networks - Advanced

Click on wireless networks
There should be a tick-box saying Use windows to configure my wireless network settings. I expect that, in your case, the box is unticked which means that the software supplied by the vendor of the wifi card is configuring the settings. I find that it is usually more reliable to let windows do it.

So tick the box and click OK. You may then have to reboot.

When I connect it to bt wifi, it says the signal is strong.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network does not means you will get an Internet connection. That all depends how the Wi-Fi router is attached to the true network by Ethernet, DSL (phoneline), or cable modem.You must contact the network owner or administrator to confim why you cannot get an Internet connection even if the Wi-Fi connection is strong.

Irulu 7" tablet keeps disconnecting from internet. It's connect for a minute or so and then just drops. Just received replacements for 2 in the mail yesterday. No connection problems with old ones.

How many 'bars' are showing on wi-fi signal strength indicator (presuming you are using wi-fi for internet access)? If the signal strength is low, you could be losing connections that way, or there might be interference on the wi-fi channel that the tablet is using. Try changing channels in your wi-fi setup and see if there is an improvement in the behavior.

Go into your internet test glade, and search for locatons to connect to, if the adapter id plugged in you should be able to search for wireless signals. Connect to yours or the best connetion, but just know, WEP or WEP2 connections are password guarded.
