i lost wireless connection. :(( please help. :'((((?

Question

i was trying to connect my phone to our broadband router. as i remembered, a computer technician (whom we wrongly trusted) changed it's password. as i was surfing for possible ways for acquiring the new password (i guess it's WLAN?) so that i could connect my phone, one suggested that i press the button on my router for 30 secs. that was what i did. but after that, my laptop, which was wirelessly connected to the router, lost connection. how could i reconnect my laptop? :(( please help me. i badly need internet. :(((

i tried opening the url for my router but i don't know my username and password. how do i get to know those? help me please. :(((

Answer 1

Pressing that button on the router resets it to the factory defaults. This includes the username/password combination you see upon opening your router's configuration utility. If you have the manual, it should have the default username/password to get into your router. It varies from brand to brand what the username is by default. Sometimes it's admin, administrator, or completely blank. The password can be blank, administrator, admin...etc, but it is mentioned in the manual. If you don't have the manual, look on the router for a sticker detailing its model information, specifically the model number. Go to the manufacturers support website and look up your specific model. The manual or installation guide should also be available there.

Answer 2

Pressing the button on the back, usually labelled with the word RESET deletes the settings, so its back to its factory default state. The default state's exact settings depend on the device, but if it a lyksys or netgear the new name of the wireless signal is the brand of the device.



I would suggest connecting your laptop directly to the router to reconfigure it, that way when you change the settings, you won't lose the admin console.



To get to the admin console, you need to enter the IP address into a browser window. Frequently, its 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1; but to be sure pull up your internet settings and find the IP of the router there (sometimes listed as the gateway on different versions of windows). IF it requires a password, again it depends on the brand by admin and password are popular defaults.



Note: CHANGE THE DEFAULT PASSWORD TO CHANGE SETTINGS. IF you don't then anyone on your network can change those settings, and you don't want them to.



Once you're in the console, just change the wireless name, add a password (WPA please! WEP is not very secure), apply settings; then on your computer- tell it to join the network you created.
