Tryiing to access my router

I have a router set up that is working fine and am trying to connect my i touch. When I put in my security key on my own network it keeps denying me access. I'm wondering if there is a step that I am missing. I was at another household and put in the password they were using and had no trouble connecting wirelessly

Hi,
1st time poster here, I cannot post a new topic so sorry for jumping on this one..
ok, I know it has to be a setting on my router at home as when I come to work my ipod touch (1st gen with 2.2.1 on it) connects fine... also on any without security it works fine.
anyone know what the problem could be? or what I need to change, I'm currently running wep on it (this is how it was setup by the engineer, not sure I can change it without causing problems to my tv package)..

  • WRT54G firmware failure leaving no access to router config

    I have a WRT54G router.  Running Vista SP2 64-bit on a laptop wired to router.  When I first tried to upgrade the firmware I was connected wirelessly.  (I know, please just think it but don't type it)  During the upgrade the internet connection disconnected and the upgrade failed.  I am connecting right now wirelessly using someones unsecure network.  I attempted to upgrade the firmware to 8.00.7.  Since then I am unable to access the router config using IP 192.168.1.1.  I have read as many posts as I can handle.  I have checked and that is the IP showing in Vista, (Network & Sharing, view status, properties) however I cannot ping that IP.  It times out every time.  I have done all the resets (10 seconds and up to 1 minute) on the router and power cycle etc.  Nothing.  I downloaded the firmware utility and I get an error message everytime that it is unable to get responses from the server.  I have tried my password, which I think is gone due to all the resets, and am using admin as the password.  I have disabled my firewall.  I do have Network Magic and when I checked control internet access it says I am able to do so.  Is there a way to disable Network Magic?  Can that be the issue?  When all this started I had my own internet connetion.  I'm in the process of moving so I have disconnected my internet service.  Since I'm only trying to connect to the router locally, do I really need to have a live internet connection?  Please, HELP!  I don't want to buy a new router.  This one has been very reliable.  If I do have to buy something new, can you recommend something just as reliable. 
    There have been 2 or 3 times where it looked as though I was going to be able to connect to config interface and the firsrt basic screen loads with minimal data and no clickable links to allow me to change screens.  The "&" from one of the links that is supposed to appear but does not,  is the only thing that appears in that area and if I click it, I either get a error from IE that it cannot connect, or, it takes me to the Ports screen with minimal data and I cannot progress from there.  In the top right corner of the screen, it does show the firmware version is 8.00.7.  ?????
    P.S.  Obviously, I'm not very computer savvy so excuse me if I'm missing the obvious.

    Its Great that your issue has been resolved now...

  • I cannot access my router's web configuration interface since Firefox 4. It does not let me enter a password with the username blank (as specified by the router manufacturer). Is there a workaround for this?

    since updating to Firefox 4, I cannot access my router's configuration page (http://192.168.x.x). When prompted for the username and password,Firefox's log in window does not accept a blank username field (The router does not require a username, only a password, and it's the default password). If I click OK, the password entry just comes up again. This works fine in other browsers. Is there anything I can do about this?

    I had this issue, too, and fixed it by turning off the option "Tell Websites I do not want to be tracked" under Options->Advanced->Browsing.

  • Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been tol...

    Need help accessing the router web page.  I have been told my router is acting like a switch and the IP address is not in the proper range.  I have tried reseting the router (hold for 30 sec and unplug for 5 mins).  Didn't work.
    thanks

    What router are you using?  Almost all Linksys routers use 192.168.1.1 as the default local IP address, but there is at least one that uses 192.168.16.1 , namely the WTR54GS  (not the WRT54GS).
    You need to try again to reset the router to factory defaults.
    To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
    1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
    2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
    3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
    5) Power down the router.
    6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
    7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
    8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
    9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
    10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank (note: a few Linksys routers have a default user name of "admin" (with no quotes)), and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
    If you get this far without problems, try the setup disk (or setup the router manually, if you prefer), and see if you can get your router setup and working.
    If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
    If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
    If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
    Please let me know how things turn out for you.

  • Cannot connect using Accessing the Router's Web-Based

    I'm trying to update firmware, I have done all the step to access the router's web-based.. I connected DSL to the Ethernet port on the router, from the router I used another Ethernet cable to connect the router to my laptop.. I can't get an internet connection.  The reason why I'm doing the update I have been using WRT54G2 V1 with no problems, all at once I can't connect to the internet using the router.  I was told that I need to perform a firmware update.
    Thank you for the help

    What' s the ip address and the default gateway are you getting on the computer ?
    Connect the DSL modem to the Internet port of the router then use port number one on the router to connect the computer.
    Click on Start > Run > type CMD hit Enter command promt window will appear on the screen.
    In the command promt window tupe "ipconfig" hit Enter. Now you will see the ip address and the default gateway on the screen. Use the default gateway to open the setup page of the router.

  • WRT54GX4 - Difficulties Accessing the Router's Web-Based Setup Page

    WRT54GX4 - Difficulties Accessing the Router's Web-Based Setup Page.
    I have tried everything posted to the forums and the Knowledge Base for several weeks now with no luck.  I can power push router and gain access to router's web-base interface but only for a few minutes than it quits loading part way through and or does not load at all.  If I turn off the wireless side I can access the router at will with no problems. My warranty is almost over. I am at my wits end. I would like to get it replaced under warranty if I can. (^8

    Thank you for your recommendations peanuts. (^8
    I bought the router back in December 10, 2006. 
    I updated the firmware to v1.00.20 back in June 2007. After I did a successful firmware upgrade I reset the router to factory default settings and then reconfigured it. It has worked Ok till a couple of months ago.
    I have read everything I can find here on the support forum and in the Knowledge Base several times.
    I have tried changing all the different settings to the different recommendations posted here and in Knowledge Base with no success. Each time I would do a long reset back to factory defaults, let it soak for a few hours and then make one change at a time and let it soak.
    I have been monitoring 6 other wireless AP(s) around me (none mine) for a couple of months too. None of them are strong enough to connect to. My SSID is different from them. I have tried all the channels. My router is passworded and MAC'd.
    It is looking like it is time to call support and try to get a replacement under warranty while it is still in affect.

  • Can't access my router's setup page (wrt54g)

    I can't access my router's setup page (wrt54g) after setting it up. The router is working fine, but everytime I try to log on at 192.168.1.1 it says the password is incorrect. The first time I set it up I changed the default user name and password and I thought I had just forgot it, so I reset the device. This time I didn't change any of the defaults and I still can't log on. I already had to reset it several times, and it's just annoying. Does anyone knows how to keep it from happening? I thought it could be a firmware problem, but I can't find any downloads for my route'rs version (V8). I'm using a macbook pro, osx 10.9.2.

    I had the same problem.. After trying the userid and password from my previous WRT54G2 without success and admin admin multiple times, I used the "router name"  ==> Linksys as the user name and the security code that I used to set up the new router  as the password and it let me in..  I was on the phone with LINKSYS technical suport during this 1 hour process and they were as much surprised as I was that this worked..  After gettin on and changing the config, (thanks to Honey), I was able to access the internet from the new E2500 THAT i HAD JUST INSTALLED..  success

    What is the easiest way to access the router from an iPad?  I have no problems accessing it from my laptop.  Even though I am entering the address in the left address box, not the Google search box, it wants to do either a search, or add www to the beginning of the IP address.
    I usually can eventually access the router, but it is way to much trouble.  However, I use my iPad hundreds of times more often than my laptop.

    Are you typing http:// in front of the IP address of the router? e.g. http://192.168.0.1
    Sometimes, and with some routers it doesn't seem to like it if you miss off the http://

  • Port Forwarding and Accessing my Router

    Well, I'm an idiot! I set up my router and now can't get back into it so I can open some ports for my PS3. I tried 192.168.1.1 but that takes me to my modem (Westell). I am in desperate need of some help and have also tried .0.1 to no luck. Does anyone know how I can access my router. Thanks if so.

    Depending on your opertating system open  start>run> type in CMD <enter>. That should take you to your DOS prompt and from there type in ipconfig /all <enter>.  That will show you a few IP address's and there should be a Gateway IP.  It may be 192.168.1.2 or something like that.  That is your routers IP so when you try to access your router type in http://192.168.1.2 or the addy it lists as your gateway.

  • WRT54GL - Cannot access the router

    I can't access the router "WRT54GL" from 192.168.1.1.
    I don't know username and password.
    Could you help me please?

    Before I suggest you for any troubleshooting steps. I would like to know few questions. Let me know the IP address from the router? Here are the steps to check the IP address.
    You can check the IP address in the following manner:
    # Click on Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt.
    # A black pop up box should come up, type: "ipconfig /all" …
    There check the IP address and Default Gateway under LAN….
    If the Default gateway is '192.168.1.1' then in case once reset the router... Steps to reset the router:
    Push the reset button on router for 30 seconds, turn off the router wait for 30 seconds and then power it on.
    Power light should blink when you perform the reset process.
    The default password is “admin” and you may leave the User name field blank.
    Here is the link for accessing the router's web -based setup page: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?pid=93&login=1&vw=1&app=search&articleid=3676&userrole=Linksy...

    I just want to change my guest password on LinksysE1000.  So I run Cisco Connect and get "Cannot access your router."  How can that be when it works fine otherwise?  Any help appreciated.

    So,If your Cisco Connect Software is not responding then,it this case you have to un-install the software completely from the computer then,download and install the Cisco Connect Software from linksys website and you have re-configure the entire network again.

    My family owns an Apple Airport router, and my question is that is there a were to remotely access the router and turn it off and on? Thanks

    Richard's suggestion will turn off and turn on the wireless function on your Mac computer......but.....it will not do anything as far as turning your Apple AirPort router on and off.......which seems to be the question that you are asking above.
    If this is the question that you are asking, it is not possible to power the Apple router on and off from either a local or remote location.

  • Accessing my router/wireless linksys camera remotely

    How can I view my linksys wireless camera from a remote location? I am using internet explorer but don't know how to access my router. I know the ip address to the camera but what is the command string I must use?

    what you need to do is forward a port on your router.
    by default the port that needs to be forwarded for the linksys camera is 1024.Since you know the IP of the camera,this is what you do.
    access the router using http://192.168.1.1 , enter the password "admin".
    Click on the tab "applications and gaming" then select the "port range forward" . enter the app as "what u want" the start port as "1024" end port "1024" select protocal as TCP and enter the IP of the camera.and enable. save settings
    Now to access the camera froma remote location you will have to know your WAN IP address at all times.This IP address is on the "status page of the router" so at the remote location you need to type "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1024
    Or you can register with sololink.

  • Monitoring and controlling internet access for router

    Im kinda confused about what im doing but i have neighbors next door that are bumming off of my internet and i want to be able to deny the access of their computers.  i tried changing the password but it seems that it didnt help, i dont know why or how they got around it but if someone could tell me how i could block their computers from accessing my router it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

    The details of this depends on what kind of router you have, but generally the most secure setup is to only allow specific MAC addresses to use your router.  This can be a pain until you have added all of your devices - and if you have occasional users like friends who drop by it's annoying to have to go into the router and add them.  Still, it's the only sure-fire way to keep everyone else out.  In my router, it's under advanced wireless settings, and the function is called Setup Access List.
