Hi Shaifali,
No worries!
- Can you log back into the router? with the new password or with the old one?
-Has your router been totally re-setted to factory defaults?
- I think you have changed the PPoE connection password which is the internet link password to ISP instead of the router password?

Let me know these questions and I will help you resolve this issue

Testimonial: "Thank you very much. It was not reset properly. I connected it to my pc and restored the defaults properly. Thanks.. this helped a lot."

SOURCE: cant connect with the modem after cell phone mishap

Reconfigure your computer's software that was changed to make the phone work.
On the router, rtfm.
I doubt a cell phone could change the router's settings.

Hi i want to change my password on my Huawei router. how do i reset it . Thanks

To reset the password on your Huawei router, you can follow these general steps:
  1. Access the Router Settings:
    • Connect your computer or mobile device to the Huawei router via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
    • Open a web browser and enter the default IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address for Huawei routers is often "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1". If these addresses don't work, you can check the router's documentation or look for the default IP address on the router itself.
    • Press Enter to access the router's login page.
  2. Log in to the Router's Configuration Page:
    • On the login page, enter the username and password. The default login credentials are usually provided on the router or in the documentation. Common default usernames and passwords for Huawei routers are "admin" for both the username and password fields.
    • Click on the Login or Sign In button to proceed.
  3. Navigate to the Password Settings:
    • Once you are logged in, find the settings section related to Wi-Fi, Wireless, or Security.
    • Look for an option named "Password," "WPA Key," or "Pre-Shared Key" to change the Wi-Fi password.
    • If you want to change the router's administration password (used to access the router's settings page), look for an option like "System," "Administration," or "Management" settings.
  4. Change the Password:
    • Enter your desired new password in the appropriate field.
    • Make sure to choose a strong and secure password that includes a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
    • Some routers may require you to re-enter the new password to confirm it.
  5. Save the Changes:
    • After entering the new password, look for a "Save," "Apply," or "Submit" button to save the changes.
    • Click on the appropriate button to save the new password.
  6. Test the New Password:
    • Disconnect any devices currently connected to the Wi-Fi network.
    • Reconnect the devices to the Wi-Fi network using the new password to ensure it is working correctly.

Change a Network Password

A network password is a combination of alphanumeric characters that users must enter in order to access a local area network.

Wireless routers use this password to protect the network from unauthorized users who could potentially steal bandwidth from the network, access sensitive data and view the information being sent to and from the network's router.

To change your network password, you must log on to the router's URL and access its security settings.

Type the router's URL into your web browser.
To access and change any settings on your router, you must log in to the router's URL.

This will allow your computer to communicate with the router and access the router's main page. When accessing the router's URL, use the same computer that was used to install the router.

If you do not know the router's URL, look for this information in the router's manual or on the manufacturer's website.

After entering the URL into the web browser's address bar, press "Enter" or click the "Go" button on the browser.

Input the router's default username and password.

Once you enter the router's URL into your web browser, a dialog box will appear requiring you to input the router's username and password. (Note that this password is not the network password.)
Unless you have previously changed the router's username and password, input the defaults.

Many routers have the default username of "admin" and have the password set as "password" or have no password at all.

To find out your router's default username and password, check the documentation that came with your router or check the manufacturer's website. Click "OK" to proceed to the router's main page.

Access the router's security settings.
Depending on your brand of router, there will be tabs or links on the router's main page.

One of these will contain the page for changing your security settings.
Find and click the link or tab.

This page will contain several textboxes, one of which will contain the SSID (name of the network) and two textboxes for changing the network password.

Select an encryption type and change the network password.
Most new routers offer WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy) security or WPA security.

Select the type of security and change the network password by typing in a new password in the two text boxes.

When you are finished, click "OK."

Save your changes and log out.

After changing the network password, you must click "Save" or "Apply" to keep the password change.

Log out of the router by clicking the "Logout" or "Exit" link on the router's main page.

If you leave the main page open for a certain period of time, you may be logged out automatically.

Orange light on the router

The color orange indicates that

the Router is not using the SecureEasySetup

feature, while the color white indicates that the

Router is using the SecureEasySetup feature.

When the Router enters SecureEasySetup

mode, the Cisco logo will turn white and

start flashing. After the Router has generated

the SSID and WPA Shared Key, the Cisco

logo will stop flashing and stay white.

So this "feature" can be turned off (meaning the light is off)

On the web-based router setup (192.168.1.1 in web browser) go to Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings

Secure Easy Setup
This feature allows you to enable or

disable the SecureEasySetup feature. Select Disable to

disable the feature and turn off the button's light. The

feature is enabled by default.

Click the Save Settings button to apply your changes, or

click the Cancel Changes button to cancel your changes.

I need to change the name of my Belkin Wireless (automatic) name and password. Can you walk me through this?

How to quickly install and use your Belkin wireless G router 1. Step 1
Position your Belkin wireless G router.

Place your wireless G router in a wide open and central location. Don't connect the power plug into the router, yet. Make sure your computer is turned off.

2. Step 2
Connect all the devices.

Find the Ethernet cable that connects your PC to the modem. Unplug the Ethernet cable from your PC and insert it into the wireless G router's WAN port. You should have an additional Ethernet cable that came with your router. Take this cable and plug one end into one of the LAN ports on the router. Then connect the other end to your PC's Ethernet port.

3. Step 3
Turn on your modem, router, and PC.

Plug the power plug adapter into the modem. Turn on the modem. It'll take approximately 30 seconds for the modem to boot up. Connect the power plug adapter to the router and the other end into a power strip or outlet. Like the modem, it'll take about 30 seconds for the router to boot. Turn on your PC.

4. Step 4
Verify lights are on for your devices.

Make sure the following lights are on for your router: power, WAN, and LAN light. If you don't see any of them lit, confirm these devices are turned on. Make sure the Ethernet cable connections are installed correctly.

5. Step 5
Install and configure software.

Use the setup wizard application to configure your Belkin wireless G router. Set up features, such as creating your password and setting up your time zone. Continue to follow the setup wizard so you can configure  other settings.

jQuery('.article ol .image').each(function(i,e){ var $this = jQuery(this); $this.find('img').error(function(){ jQuery(this).remove(); $this.remove(); }); });
