Log into router

How do I log into my router? I just upgraded to the newest router and it should be admin & Password. But as soon as I start typing 3 spaces show up and after a few tries it stops me from logging in. I need to open port 80 to view my cameras on my security system. Any help?
Also when I try to connect my blu-ray it says the wep key is too long. Any Help?

NO, if the newest it should actually be admin and the serial number which is marked as the password on the back of the router.
The multiple characters that appear in the password file on login are a pathetic way to over the shoulder watchers to disguize the password length>
Try ignoring the dross and once you're logged on just set the Port forwarding rules.
If you've managed to lock yourself out of the router then just reset it to to factory defaults and start it again using the above.

  • Can't log into router because of connect cloud

    How do I get past this slow connect cloud b.s.?  Now it's stopping me from logging into my router all together.  I keep getting a message "we've encountered an unexpected error" blah blah blah.  I can't get past it.  I've already rebooted my router.

    *Sigh*  I really don't want to be on the phone foreever just to end up with something like "you have to reset your router to factory settings".  I don't have time for that.  People in my office need me to change (verify) a password to the guest network.  It shouldn't be this difficult.
    I was able to connect to the cloud thing yesterday.  Nothing changed since then.  Why can't I connect now?  I'm guessing it's a cloud website issue and it'll clear up soon.  I just want to go back to original firmware now.  This cloud thing doesn't give me anything new or better.....only slower and now, nothing at all.

  • Issue Logging Into Router - Resetting Not Helping

    Hello, I recently tried logging into my Verizon Actiontec MI424WR router and used the standard username and password supplied by the Verizon website, admin and the serial number. That didn't work so I tried admin and password. Also didn't work. I tried varying alterations involving adding 1 to the end, lowercase and uppercase, etc till I got locked out. So I reset my router and tried again with the default password and username. Still couldn't log in. I tried again until once again I was logged out. I ended up resetting my router three times and each time nothing changed, I couldn't log in with the default password and username. Can anyone help me to understand what I'm doing wrong and how to log into my router?
    I always used the username admin, some of the variations of password I've used include:
    password
    password1
    password*
    PASSWORD
    My serial number in caps lock.
    My serial number in lowercase
    Thank you in advance anyone who can help me with this problem.
    Solved!

    Hi, which exact router do you have?
    The one with the red band and dual antenna's doesn't use those default passwords, they actually come shipped with a password and it's labeled as passord on the sticker.
    the older units with a single antenna, use the Serial number of the router, found under the UPC bar code, and those are case sensitive.

  • Problem logging into router MI424WR

    I have tried to log on to my router, MI424WR.  I used 192.168.1.1 and get to the log on page.  I enter admin and tab to the password line.  However, every  time I type each letter generates 3-4 letters on its own.  I tried to cut and paste the password ( the default) but states the log on failed.  I have tried this on a MAC, and PC using Firefox, Internet explorer, and Safari, still no go!
    Solved!

    Happens to me too. I think it's normal for it to add more then one bullet at a time only even if you did type in one letter. Just type in "password" or "password1" without the quotes.

  • Problem logging into router after SSH

    I have two 1811 routers wherein I have setup SSH.  Everything went well on both.  This is the first time I've decided to do SSH and/or better security.  Both are not-yet-production.
    I went home Friday with everything working fine.  I come back in Monday and decide to login to both.  The first was fine and I got in ok.  The 2nd, however, gave me a "connection refused" error from putty.  I kept trying and finally roll-over cabled into it.  I could find nothing wrong and I got in fine via rollover.
    I finally saved the config and powered-all-the-way down and then back up.  This allowed me in fine.
    Question: I am concerned about doing the rest of my production routers with SSH as I've never had this problem before, and would hate to have to cold start a router in production in order to  get into it.
    Am I being silly or missing something?

    Connection refused can mean all the lines are in use. Possibly, you have only configured one VTY line, and didn't disocnnect the previous sesison correclty. hence it refused your new attempt.
    I would do this:
    line vty 0 4
    exec-timeout 20 0
    transport input ssh
    this will allow 5 connections ( 0 through 4), and will automaitcally close them after 20 minutes of inactivity and will refuse any telnet attempts.

  • Can't log into router setup page

    I updated my firmware today on a WRT54GL router. Upgrade was successful but when I clicked to continue I got a message that access was denied.  I have tried to log in with the address 192.168.1.1 and get the same message. Any help?

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults (see note below), then setup the router again from scratch.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.  If you have not done this since the last firmware upgrade, please do it now and see if that corrects your problem.
    If you still have trouble viewing your router setup pages, do the following:
    Use Internet Explorer, it usually works.
    JavaScript must be enabled.
    Use a computer that is wired to the router.
    In the non-working computer, temporarily turn off your software firewall.
    If you are using Zone Alarm, right click on the ZA icon in the system tray (lower right corner of screen) and then click "Shutdown ZoneAlarm", and see if this fixes your problem. If this does not work, try the following with Zone Alarm: Open the ZAISS control center, go to Privacy, then temporarily turn off Ad Blocking and Cookie Control, and see if that fixes your problem.
    If you are using Noton Internet Security with the Add-on Pack, be sure to turn off the Pop-up Blocker. Some users have reported that they needed to uninstall the entire Norton Add-on Pack.
    If you cannot get anything at 192.168.1.1 then perhaps this is not your router's address. Go to "Start" > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.
    A black DOS box will appear. Type in "ipconfig" (with no quotes), then hit the Enter key. Look at the "Default Gateway". Is it 192.168.1.1 ? Point your browser to the "Default Gateway", then login to your router.
    If the above fails, disconnect your modem from the router, and try again. If this corrects your problem, then most likely you have a "modem-router" rather than an ordinary modem. Check to see if your "modem-router" is using the same 192.168.1.x address space as your Linksys router. If it is, then report back with this problem, and also state the make and model of your modem-router.
    If all of the above fails, power down your entire system, unplug it from the wall, wait one minute, then power up and try again.
    If you still have problems, then you need to download and install (or re-install) the latest firmware for your router. After the firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it.
    Note:  To reset the router to factory defaults: Power down the router and disconnect all wires from it. Wait one minute. Power up the router, allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes), then press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release the button and allow the router to reset and reboot ( 2-3 minutes). Power down router. Wait one minute. Connect one computer, by wire, to a LAN port on the router. Boot up system. It should work.

  • HOW TO LOG IN INTO ROUTER SETTINGS FROM YOUR COMPU...

    Hello there,
    I am in need of help!
    I am a mac user, and experiening severe wireless prblemns with my router. I came across this discussion on apple support: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23693056
    and like in this forum:
    https://community.bt.com/t5/Other-Broadband-Queries/No-802-11-Ac-on-Home-Hub-5/td-p/1067592
    They suggest setting the router to: No 802.11 Ac on Home Hub 5.
    Now, I know what I need to do, but how do it do it?! 
    I don't know even how to log into my router! Can you help?
    Your help with be very much aprreciated. Thank you very much,

    when i go to the tab of the wireless it just says: "Wi-fi: Looking for Networks" all the time! 
    Then it find a networks, then it drops, then it finds it again. it's a pain. I think it has gotten worse since I uptated the system from Snow Leopard to Maverick. Any suggestions? Anyone else with this problem?
    Thank you so much!

    Hi there,
    It sounds to me like you could have a corrupt network preferences file.
    Here's what I suggest you do:
    1. Open System preferences from the dock icon.
    2. Navigate to Network and open that pane.
    3. Click on Wi-Fi, in the left hand pane and highlight it.
    4. Click the minus button at the bottom of the pane to remove Wi-Fi from the list.
    5. Click Apply.
    6. Click on the plus button and select "Wi-Fi" from the drop down list.
    7. Click Apply.
    8. Quit System preferences.
    You should now have effectively reset your Wi-Fi interface. Now try connecting to your wireless network again and (hopefully) everything should work as expected.
    I hope this info helps.

  • Trouble with logging into my router

    I'm running a MI424-WR rev f router and when I log into 192.168.1.1, I can enter the admin login name, but I cannot enter the password. For every letter I type, at least two characters appear. I used to be able to copy and past the password into the form, but now that doesn't work, either (it adds another character). 
    This happens with every browser I have (chrome, safari, firefox, and camino). Anyone else seen this?
    thanks!
    -M

    You can ignore the number of characters displayed.  This is a security feature that is suppose to confuse any one watching over your shoulder as to how long your password is.
    Password should default to matching the serial number displayed on your router.  The router when reset may use "password" as the password and installers use to change it to "password1"

  • Trouble logging into my Verizon router.

    Just got fios in our condo and have a 9100vm router from Verizon. Internet connection is very flaky, for instance, I have to constantly input my email credentials, and game connections to steam or battlenet are constantly dropping..
    Anyway, one problem/symptom is that I can't consistently log into the router.. Sometimes it lets me in othertimes not.. But whenever I am in I will get disconnected within a minute and it ask for credentials again over and over. When I am in, I see other Moca? devices that belong to the other person in our complex that has fios. Not sure if that is correct. Fios phone support said that's ok?
    They replaced the router, and while the Tech was here, he couldn't even login a few times.. Finally did and then said all is ok and ran....So that didn't fix anything.
    FYI, to keep it simple this happens on a wired connection, and on 3 different computers (one a ubuntu box).
    Anyhelp would be appreciated, Calling fios has been a waste, I can't seem to get past tier one support folks, who have me swapping cables, and resetting the routers..been there done that at least 10 times. The last time the guy had me flush the dns and said that would take 10 minutes and to call back then..lol. 
    The original tech who installed this said our building has "new" setup because it uses coax cable and the copper phone line to get from the mpoe up to our condo..so they don't have to run fiber up to each unit.. Not sure if this info helps..but any advice will help, I don't want to go back to TWC..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    OK ... so they're probably using a small DSLAM in the building ... basically a short run vDSL circuit for the internet (which can achieve speeds upwards of 52mbs).  The issue here however is that the STB's are all going to bind to one person's MoCA interface (unless they turn that off on the routers) and use that person's network for their VoD and Guide.   More importantly, there's an interesting security hole there unless they are configuring different MoCA keys or using different frequencies.   They should probably be filtering out the MoCA LAN frequencies between units so that you're not on the same network as your neighbors.
    Not sure I like the security ramifications of the setup.   Would be interesting if someone who has this setup installed could post more details or configuration details from the routers.   Almost sounds like the technician didn't turn something off that they should have.  You (or your neighbor) should never be able to see each other's private LAN-side networks.
    What happens if you disconnect the Coax from the router?   Do the STB's still function (Guide, VoD, etc.).   I'm betting it's not supposed to be connected in this type of setup.

  • Can't log into User Account after disrupting external hard drive

    I keep my account (Admin) on an external hard drive due to the large volume of data. I mistakenly pulled out the USB cable to the drive while trying to resolve another issue. Subsequently, it appeared a lot of my data was missing. I restarted the computer and couldn't log into my user account. It seems pulling the USB cable to the external drive corrupted something. I verified both disks (internal & external) and all was OK. I ran Disk Permissions and tried to repair. The resultant information is attached at the bottom of this message.
    I can access my data on the hard drive from my laptop over the network. I just can't get into my user account directly. Any ideas on how I can address this issue?

  • Unable to log into iMessage and intermittent issues with FaceTime

    Late 2011 MacBook Pro, OS X 10.8.4.  I'm an admin level Windows guy but a relatively new (and otherwise very pleased) convert to Mac OS.
    This morning Messages started repeatedly prompting me for my iMessage password and FaceTime has starting working only intermittently.  Both work fine from my iPad and iPhone 5.  Both have been working from my MacBook Pro for months.
    This morning when I tried to fire up Messages on the MacBook I got an error saying "The server encountered an error processing registration".  After doing some Googling, I noticed that many folks said that when they had this problem they also had an issue with FaceTime.  I confirmed that FaceTime was indeed giving me the same error as iMessage. After trying some solutions from past threads that didn't work, I rebooted.  Now instead of throwing an error, Messages just keeps asking me for my iMessage password again and again.  FaceTime works occasionally but sometimes when I get a call and click answer, I get "call failed" as my iPhone and iPad continue to ring and then I'm asked to re-enter my password on the MacBook.  If I enter my password it just sits and spins.  If i quit FaceTime and start it again, it'll usually log in successfully but calls may or may not work (following the same pattern I just mentioned).
    The odd thing to me is that when I tested FaceTime on my iPad, I got notifications on my iPad and iPhone and my primary and alternate email address were now registered with FaceTime.  They have been for over a year so I'm not sure why I'm getting those notifications again.
    I'm able to log into the Mac App store without a problem using the same AppleID
    What I've tried so far based on Google results:
    1. In Keychain Access, reset my default keychain - No improvement
    2. In Keychain Access, selected Keychain First Aid, repaired and verified - No improvement
    3. On my iPad, turned iMessage off and back on - No improvement, though iMessage on the iPad still works fine
    4. Confirmed that my primary and secondary AppleID email addresses and password are correct.  The email address associated with my AppleID is not associated with any other AppleIDs.
    Thanks!

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or obviously invalid, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 4
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 6
    Select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 7
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 8
    Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 9
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 10
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 11
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • Not able to log into Verizon Cloud on Galaxy Note Pro 12.2

    Not able to log into Verizon Cloud getting a message that my phone number has changed and that I should factory data reset the device and then restart to setup my cloud account. I have not changed numbers and don't want to factory data reset.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

        That is really odd, ThePathfinder. I too would be a bit weary of doing that, but the factory reset isn't as bad as it used to be. Let's try this step first before even considering that route. If you go to Settings > App Manager > All Verizon Cloud > Can you clear the apps cache and data, and possibly uninstall any updates for it? This may be enough to clear past info stored for the app, and may allow you to sign in with no issues.

  • Mac keeps trying to log into a Windows server with old password.

    My iBook for some reason is trying to log into a server at work we use to share files on (let's called it Xserver). I recently discovered through logging my network traffic on my router at home, that my machine was still trying to access XServer.rr.com Xserver.socal.rr.com even when I was not in the office. It doesn't stop trying, over and over and over it goes, trying to find XServer. I was wondering why my account on XServer kept becoming Locked Out (Windows Server), and this is obviously the answer because it's not using the correct password.
    How can i find out where OSX is instructed to connect to XServer automatically and keep trying, and tell it to stop?

    Look in SystemPreferences>Accounts>yourAccount...and then into Login items. see if this server login is set to be automatic there.
    If it's just a wrong password you need to fix, look into Utilities>KeychainAccess...see if this server is in there, remove it. Or do Keychain FirstAid.
    There is an automount function somewhere, but I forget where that is.

  • I can log into my apple id, but it won't let me on Itunes

    I'm studying abroad in two days and I wanted to update my ipod, mostly with a lot of apps since my flight is 9 hours. I tried logging into Itunes using my normal email and what I thought my password was. I wasn't sure on the password so I had my password reset and tried to log in on my itunes. Didn't work so I changed my email twice and my password about 5 times and it still won't let me into Itunes, but when I have to log onto here or any where else on apple.com my apple ID and password works perfectly....What can I do to fix this? I need to get this solved fast please!

    Hello, TonyanAsia. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue. 
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
    If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.
