Hi,

You have to enter the router's configuration page by typing 192.168.1.1 and you will get a log in page.

Default user name:admin
Default password:

As soon as you are logged in, please go to the wireless tab. You're suppose to see the security key if not you may change it to a new one.

If default user name and password rejected and you don't remember setting up your login name and password, you have to reset the router. Get a paperclip or pin and press the reset pinhole on the back of the router. It's in red color. Press and hold it down for 5 seconds. After that back to the login page by typing 192.168.1.1 on the address. This time for sure the default username and password will work. Now since you reset the router you have to run the wizard to setup the router.

Here's the link for the manual of your router.

LOST WIFI SECURITY KEY WORD
If you have lost your WEP/WAP wifi key phrase there is no way to recover it except go into the router administration settings and see if it is in plain text there. If not then you will have to make up a new key phase and apply it to ALL your connected devices.
In future, write the key phrase down on a piece of tape and apply it to the bottom of your router. You can use a hint instead of the actual phrase.

Pin number

It has probably been a while since you set up the security options on your Linksys router, and chances are, you've forgotten or lost the WEP key.
Luckily, you can easily recover this security code when you need it.
A base computer and a printer are required for this task.

Open a Web browser on your base computer.
Navigate to the Linksys setup menu by typing "http://192.168.1.1" into the browser's address bar and pressing "Enter."
This is the router's LAN address.


Locate the "Security" tab near the top of the window.
Clicking on this tab unlocks your WEP code, so to speak the code is now displayed on the screen.

Print this screen by clicking "File" and then "Print" on your browser's toolbar.
Verify that the entire page printed correctly and that no digits are missing from the end of the WEP key.
If any numbers are missing, fill them in.

Type in your WEP key when prompted by the wireless setup screens on other computers in your network.
This will allow the computers to access your local network and the Internet.

Return to the base computer and close out of the Linksys setup screen by clicking the red "X" in the upper right corner of the application window.
