Yes you can. I do believe for the Linksys router the username is left blank and the password is 'admin'. Please give this a try.

Hi Friend,

In order to use PS3 we need to open few ports. Kindly follow the steps:

1.Open the internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 and hit enter.
2. If you have not changed the default password of the router then kindly leave blank the username box and in the password box type admin and hot enter.
3.In the setup page click Application and Gaming
4. Under that click Port Range Forwarding.

Below are the port numbers which we need to open for PS3

TCP:
80
443
5223
UDP:
3478
3479
3658

Now please type these port number in start and end port. Please make sure start and end port has to be the same.

First enter the TCP ports in first three boxes and then UDP ports in next three boxes.

Save the settings and turn off the router for 10 seconds and restart again.

Enjoy.

OK
CAN YOU MAKE A RESET FOR THE NEW ROUTER ,TO PUT IT IN DEFAULT SETTING ?

As far as I can tell, no non-Microsoft wireless adapters will work with the XBOX 360.

open internet explorer or firefox and in the address bar enter

192.168.1.1 and press enter

then it will prompt you for a username and password

ignore the username field and enter the password as admin and click on ok or press enter.

This should take you to the configuration page.

go to the linksys site for your router here

Click on user guide - you will need adobe reader to open this so if you dont have adobe reader then you will need to install it.

Once installed you should be able to open the user guide which will walk you through how to configure the router with regards to wireless etc.
