Dear Wadrifter,
You can reset your router to default setting.You have to hold the reset button for 20 seconds.Reset button is near the LAN ports in the back.It is a little hole.
Hope it resolved your issue.

Hello, I recently attached my roku stick into my panasonic flat sreen tv; I can see the wireless code come up on screen. When it ask for a pass word I'm lost. Can someone help me? I&#39

I believe your referring to your wireless network password?
If so, you'll need to acquire your wireless network's password to connect wirelessly. You can connect your Roku device to your router without a password using an Ethernet cable until you resolve the password issue. The network password is the same one you'd use for connecting any wireless device to your secured network. If you can't remember your password, you'll have to login to your router through a browser on your computer, and access the wireless settings where you can find, or set your password. Default network login information can usually be found on a sticker somewhere on your router.

I lost my net gear n150 cd and i want to change my password..

How to View or Change Your Wireless Network Password Symptoms:
  • You have lost or forgotten the password to your wireless network
  • You have lost or forgotten the password for the router, access point or other network device
  • You left the default password or used a weak password and someone has hijacked your network

Depending on the router, you can either view or reset the wireless network password (also referred to as the passphrase or security key) if you can log into the router. Some routers mask the wireless network password, so while you cannot recover it, you can enter and save a new password.

If you cannot log into your router because you have forgotten the router password or your network has been hijacked, please refer to "Lost or forgotten password for router or other device" below.

To view or reset a wireless network password:

  1. Log in to your NETGEAR router by browsing to http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. Enter the username (admin) and password. By default, the password is password or 1234 unless it has already been changed.
  2. From the left-hand navigation menu of the Router Manager, select Set Up > Wireless Settings.
  3. From the center screen, select your encryption type from under the Security Options heading.
    • If the wireless network passphrase is visible, review it and use it to log devices onto your network.
    • If it is not visible, you can change your wireless passphrase; however, changing the passphrase will cause you to lose your wireless connection. Connect your computer to the router with an Ethernet cable before entering a new passphrase into the text box and clicking Apply.
If you cannot log into your router:

Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.

NOTE: Restoring factory defaults on a device will erase any customizations you have made. You will lose any configurations saved to the device!

I have a new lap top which is recognising the wireless network and then asking for a network security key. How do I find this?

The network security key is essentially a password that was setup to control access to your network. Presumably, when you set it up you gave it a password that you could remember, but not so obvious that people could easily guess. If you've forgotten or lost the password, you can reset the router by using a paperclip and holding the reset button for about 10-15 seconds. Once you reset the router, it will be restored to its original factory defaults and you can then setup again your wireless networking.

We have lost the original disc that came with the TIVO and I need to get the Tivo wireless network adaptor set up on our wireless network. How can I do that without the disc, is thee anyway around that ?

The disk us usually not necessary. If you are using a series 2 TiVo you just plug this in to the back of the TiVo and it will recognize it. In the TiVo menu find Network Settings. If you select change network settings it will ask you to select your wireless router and ask for the password to your router if you are using one.

My netgear wireless router has been installed and we can see the wireless connection on our laptops but when it asks us for a password we don't know it-is it the Lan ip or wan ip or is it another password...

I think its asking for the wireless encryption key (WEP) which you will see somewhere on the router itself or you might have to open the router page and check the wireless network settings check for WEP - Password
