My room mate is being a @!#$ and had blocked facebook via the router of netgear.. how do i get around it.. she is the primary on the account and they will not unblock it for me..
Hi, To remove any sort of blocked sites through the router, follow the below steps:
1. Connect a computer to the router using any one of the 4 available ports.
2. Open the browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari).
3. Access the router usually by typing 'http://192.168.1.1' or 'http://www.routerlogin.com' in the address bar.
4. Login to the router with the Username as "admin" and Password as "password" (please note that the Username and Password are case sensitive).
5. Click on Block sites in the left hand side menu and remove any keyword you see listed here. Click apply
Hope this helps.
You can't really get round this easily.
But to by-pass the problems you can
1) reset the router to factory defaults... you will need the username and password for this for the router which are (depending on your version)
Username: admin
Password: password
or
Username: admin
Password: admin
Then set yourself up as primary account holder - you will also need the ISPs log in details.
Alternatively, use a web proxy server to connect to facebook. I reccomend SSLUnblock but for others you can find a nice list of proxy servers here.
If this helped you then please help me and vote kindly, thank you.
