I type 192.168.1.1 and can not gain access to router control panel

does your laptop have the same type of wifi card? alot of people make this mistake over and over. all routers transmit at different frequences, you must make sure your wifi card accepts the same as the router. for example, if your router is a 802.11g, your laptop has to be a "g" aswel, modern wifi cards can take 3 or more different ones. the older the laptop is then the older the wifi card is, may need upgrading.

has your laptop connected to it or other routers before? check your wifi settings and make sure the routers wifi setting is turned to ON, you can gain access to the routers main settings byconnecting the router to your laptop via an ethernet cable, going to start, control panel, network and internet, right click your router and click properties, write down the I.P address it gives you on screen, then open internet exlorer, and type the I.P address you wrote down, press enter. you should now have access to all the main settings. hope this helps

You can do this by logging into your routers-control panel.

To login to your router, you need to know the default gateway.

This can be done by clicking
Start >
Run >
cmd >
ipconfig

Example below:

Then just write down your default gateway, and open to your web browser.

Type in your default gateway and hit ENTER.

You will see a login panel.( I've not, your logged in automatically )
Standard username: admin
Standard password: admin

Now find your Wireless settings, enter any the security-code and hit Apply/OK.

Now you've successfully set your WEP/WPA-code !

Login to your Router's Control Panel.

How to access the Router's Control Panel.

Hit
+ R

Type CMD and click OK.

Type ipconfig and press ENTER.

You will see the Standard Gateway.

Type its value into your browser and press ENTER.

You are in your control panel.
Username + password needed?
admin - admin

Find the Wireless settings, and disable your WPA WEP.

Since the Wireless light is off, lets assume that the access point is just switched off.

That function is switched on and off from the router's control panel accessible via web browser. And you can follow these steps to get to the Wireless configuration control panel.

Open this URL from your browser

http://gateway.2wire.net.

If you have a system password enabled (and it's asking for it) but you didn't set it, or you forgot what it is you can click the

can’t remember the password

link if the password hint does not help you. In order to reset the password, you'll be asked to enter a 10 digit code which you can find on the bottom of the router itself.

Once you're able to gain access to the control panel, you'll want to

1. click the 'Home Network' tab
2. click the 'Wireless Settings' link

From this panel you can make changes to how the wireless access point portion of the router is configured. By default your router's wireless should be on, but since it's not I'm going to assume at one point in time someone turned it off so it wouldn't get confused with your airport express. If you just want your wireless settings back to the default settings

1. click the 'RESTORE DEFAULTS' button

Then the wifi settings will be set to how they were when the router was purchased. By default the access point is secured by WEP encryption, and the key is located on the bottom of the router by the Serial Number.

Start < Run < CMD <  then type ipconfig, default gateway is the routers ip address

you need to replace your modem with a router that is capable of running Network Address Translation. You are trying to route private IP's (192,168.x.x) over the public IP (internet) network.

Access the router's built-in web-server, and run the "Wireless Network Setup Wizard". Change the 'SSID' ("Network ID") and change the router's password.

You have to connect to the router's Control Panel. Here are some directions in connecting to your router's control panel then setting up the encryption to a more secure type:

In order to secure your connection you need to gain access to yourrouter's control panel. To do this we go toStart>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt. From here type in:ipconfig
Press ENTER to execute the command. A list should bereturned listing some IP Address. Look for the one associated with,"Default Gatewaty."

Here is a picture.

Afterward openyour Internet Browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc...) and type theIP Address associated with the default gateway into the address field ofthe browser. DO NOT add www. or .com. Afterward press ENTER or click GOas if you wanted to visit a website.

Once you'reat the control panel you will probably be asked to log in. If you do notknow your login details you can always try the default. To find theseyou can either search your router's user manual or head to the onlinesearch engines entering your router's manufacturer's name, the router'smodel #, and the words, "default password" into the same search requestto bring up the default login credentials. For example:

Linksys WRT54G default password

Here is a picture.

Ifyou still can't manage to log in to your router's control panel youwill have to contact the technical support department of your router'smanufacturer asking them for assistance in resetting the login user IDand password of the router.

Once you manage to log in to your router's control panel. Look for anything hinting Wirelesssecurity or Wireless settings. Once found, look for the region whichcontrols settings on wireless encryption. You will want to encrypt your wireless connection with the WPA-PSK authentication method using the TKIP encryption. If there is no such option, just use WPA encryption.

Afterward use a pass-phrase to make a wireless securitypassword, or just make your own password. Make sure to write down thepass-phrase and/or the password as you will need it to connect to yourwireless connection at a later time (This is your Wireless Encryption Key). After you save your settings inthe router control-panel your Wireless Internet Connection should be secured.

1. Go to Control panel- Network connections- Right CLick WLAn connection- properties- Select windows zero configuration utility

These instructions will work on any windows computer version 2000 and up.

In order to open ports you need to gain access to your router's control panel. To do this we go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt. From here type in: ipconfig

Once you manage to log in to your router's control panel, locate areas hinting anything in port-forwarding. Such as:

Port Forwarding
Firewall
NAT
Virtual Servers
Applications

You're trying to find a panel similar to the one depicted in this screenshot. Please note that the panel will probably not be alike. However in order to forward ports the router needs this information:

Ports to forward, on which protocol, and where to forward the ports.

Once you manage to find the appropriate screen for port-forwarding you will have to check with SAMSUNG to determine which ports need to be opened to allow remote access to your DVR.
