Manual setup of e2500 default password and network do not match documentation ?

Advance user/network engineer/firewall engineer just bought an e2500 (have been using wrt54G's for years)...
first issue... documentation is incorrect as the default network/admin webserver IP address is 192.168.0.1  not 192.168.1.1 as all the documentation i could find indicates.
I really don't want to install the Cisco Connect "bloat-ware" on my PC...the documentation also says the default login is no user ID and password="admin"...this not correct.  I have checked everything i would normally check...caps-lock...typed password into notepad... cut/past into browser etc....no luck on manually connecting with browser...after failed logins I get a 401 error
Any ideas before I take this thing back and switch to a NetGear ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello... Like you I also just switched to an E2500 from a very old WRT54G (v5). I am not a network engineer, however, I'm just an average user.
I did not have any documentation in the box. I had the setup CD that was marked "Run This CD First". I followed the brief instructions on the CD cover and the installation process came to a complete stop during the "Checking for Updates" phase at the beginning of the process. I have no idea what the Cisco Connect software does or if I even need it. I even downloaded the updated version from this website and had the same result.
I had an old shortcut saved on my desktop that allowed me to manage the old WRT54G router that led to http://192.168.1.1/ . Out of curiousity I tried the link and luckily ended up at a webpage that looked very much like the router management page that I was used to with my old router -- only better. I have been using it with no problems. I'm able to control the password and number of allowed users of the guest settings (I have seen other posts saying they couldn't do so). I don't know if I am missing anything by skipping the Cisco Connect software, but the router is working great for me!
Oh -- and the default password for me was the very same as the default password on the WRT45G router: Leave the name area blank and use "admin" as the password.
Hope that helps, and if anyone can tell me if I'm missing anything important by not using the Cisco Connect software, please let me know!

  • When I try to rent a movie, it asks my password and it does not match, and I have to go to my computer

    How can I make Apple TV recognize my password? Everytime I rent a movie I´m asked for my password and it tells me my password cannot be found, that I must go to Apple page to reset or change it. This happens when I´m watching TV and the lights go out. What can I do?

    iTunes has many stores, in different regions. If you are trying to rent from a different location that would explain the error.

  • I have an Itel based iMac on which I created a Wifi network using Airport. My iPhone5 uses the Wifi on my iMac and still works.My problem is that I can't remember the Wifi password and it is not in my Keychain.

    Read the router's user manual on how to change your password.
    If you are going to select another password, make sure it's one that you will NEVER forget AND no one else can figure it out.  Print it out & keep in a safe place.  A place that ONLY you know about AND never forget.

  • Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet, we also did not create a new network and cannot find this option again

    Trying to setup airport for 1st time and it will not connect to internet?

    You might try doing a reset of your AirPort unit.  Use a pen or paper clip to press in on the recessed reset button while you plug it in, then continue to keep the button pressed until the status light flashes several times,
    For more advice, please describe all your networking gear.

  • New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and account and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

    New Imac. I get rid off login password from security and accounts and restart. Now it asks for username and password and it's not acepting anything. Any ideas?

    First, reset your password as follows.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but you won't be able to unlock the Keychain. If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it. You’ll need to reset your keychain in the preferences of the Keychain Access application.
    If you're being prompted to authenticate when making changes to files inside your home folder, continue as follows.
    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    I just started my Macbook air the first time, connected it with my wlan and know it asks me for a password and it does not accept the only password I know, what can I do?

    It needs the user password for the wireless router, that would have been set by whomever installed the router, if that was you then try to find the password. If you can not find the password reset the router to factory default and set it up again.

  • I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back?

    I have another apple ID but I forgot the password and apple does not send the link to reset it to my email. What do I do to have it back? It is really important.

    If you know the answers to your security question for the ID you can use that method to reset the password rather than email (by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid).
    If you don't, you'll have to contact iTunes Store support for assistance: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.  They frequently deal with Apple ID issues.

    Hello farahani hairon nizar,
    If your Apple ID was changed from your old account, you may have to change it back to your old account to be able to sign out and then change it back after that is done. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info

    How do i delete an old iCloud account from phone when I forget my password and I'm not able to reset it because my security questions do not match?! Help!! Currently not able to update any apps or icloud info...

    If your device is signed into an old ID of yours that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
    If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library).  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

    If you don't know your password, don't know your security questions and don't have a rescue address or don't receive a reset email, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
