To open the set up page of the router of the router , one of your computer should be able to go online through the router.
It could be a wired computer or wireless computer.
If it is a wireless computer then make sure that the computer is connected to your own wireless network.
Do not change any wireless settings on the router using a wireless computer.
OK ! Now you have a computer online through the router and you want to open the set up page of the router.

First step is check the IP address of the computer.
Check the IP address and the Default gateway on the computer.

For Windows XP

START ==> RUN ==> type in cmd in the RUN box==> click OK or Hit ENTER . You will see a black window that is a command prompt . In the black window type in " ipconfig " ==> and Hit ENTER on your key board .

For Windows Vista and Windows 7

click on START ==> type in cmd in the start search box ==> enter ==> you will see the black window. Type in " ipconfig "you will see a lot of information. Try to find out the local area connection IPv4 address .

Note down the Default gateway number.

For MAC OS

Click APPLE icon in the right top corner of the computer. Go to System Preferences ==> go to Network ==> you will find the option Built in Ethernet or Airport whichever is connected. If you go to that you will find the Ip address and router Address.

The default gateway is the IP address of your router.

This IP address of the router will be used to open the set up page of the router

Now you got the IP address of the router.Open the Internet Browser ( Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari )

In the Address bar of the browser Type the IP address of the router.

Do not type http:// or www just type in the IP address only.

It will ask you for the user name and the password of the router.

This is the User name and the password of the router and NOT the wireless password. On a wireless router, there are 2 passwords. One is to access the router and the other one is for the wireless network.

For most of the routers the default password will be " admin " . for some routers the default password is " password ". For Linksys router the default password is admin and no user name.

Cant connect to the wifi for camera clock and blue light not blicking have push the reset button but nothing happens

Using your preferred search engine, type YAHOO MAIL FORGOT PASSWORD and you may find some helpful tips.

If your mail suddenly stopped working, your account may have been hacked. Yahoo mail should have ways for you to get the account back using any questions you may have answered, alternate email address, text messaging, giving the last password you remember working.

I do not remember the security code for my Lynkes to set up my new tablet

There are several ways to do this. If you are on cable internet just press and hold the reset button in the back of the Linksys router using a pen or something that can push the recessed button and hold it for about 20 seconds. The router will reset but with no security, so you will have to manually reset it.
Using the web browser on a wired computer (a computer that is not connected via WiFi) and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar. Both the user and password are admin. You can configure the router wireless security and change the SSID (if desired).
If you are on DSL I wouldn't do this as DSL can be quite complicated to configure.

Perform a factory reset and reconfigure the modem. Disconnect the power cable from the back of the router.
With a bent paper clip, press and hold the red reset button on the rear of the router through the small hole indicated. Reconnect the power cable with the button still pressed. Keep the button pressed for 5 to 10 seconds. Connect to the router using your wired computer (desktop) via a web browser.

Setup your DSL Login information (uses PPPoE with Dynamic IP Address). Enter your ISP login ID and password. You may be required to specify the login ID as the full e-mail address ie: [email protected]. Configure the wireless protection feature as WPA2 with AES encryption (shared-key) for best security. Also choose a strong password, 8 characters in length minimum and containing numbers, letters (uppercase and/or lower case) in the password. Passwords are case sensitive. Also be sure to change the default SSID from Linksys to something identifyable, but without using personal information.

Red power light

You need to hard reset your modem. By doing that, unplug the modem from the power outlet. Look at the back of the modem, you will see there a small red button. You need to press that button. You need to get a pin or pen to press that reset button. Press the reset button for 5 mins. Monitor the power light. It will change to orange light and it will restart. Once it restarted, you can release the reset button and wait for the lights to come up. Since you did the hard reset. You need to configure the modem with your username and password from your ISP.
You need to access the gui or firmware of your modem. If it ask for username and password. This is the time you need to contact your ISP. They will help you to configure the modem. Once they provided you the username and password ofr your modem. Write it down so you will have a copy and in case it happen again you know what to do.

32'' Panasonic television. Power switch does not turn the set on.

1 It appears that connecting cable is faulty. Normally when you connect and push the power switch the standby light should lit. Try the cable on another appliance and see its function. Also switch on the TV and try to switch it on with your remote control.

Unfortunately i tried MAC address filtering so i could setup my laptop to run on the wireless but think something went wrong, as when I try to connect to my router interface in the browser (192.168.1.1) it...

Although I couldn't confirm the location or existence of a manual reset button on the router itself from Zyxel, I did find other sites hinting to the possibility of this router having one. Most routers do, in fact, have a manual reset button located somewhere physically on the router. Usually these buttons are located on the underside or backside of the router and may be black or red. They may also require you to use a pointy object (pen or extended paper-clip) to depress. If you find something similar to this on your router, simply depress the button for roughly 15 seconds while the router is powered on. This will disable power and set the router back to factory defaults.

It's also important to note that it's never a good idea to set any kind of router configuration while connected to it wirelessly as the router needs to perform a soft-reset upon certain changes which may cause a connection drop. When this occurs while connected wirelessly, it might not receive all the information from your PC prior to the reset and thus, corrupt the change you're attempting to make. Ensure you're connected via wired connection, if possible, when making router configuration alterations.
