WPA Can Not Connect???

Question

Where I work we have a linksys wifi 54G system. When I try to connect it will show the network name and ask for the WPA password. The problem is when I put in the password it says it can not connect. I also tried an alpa-numeric key that I was given for the network with the same result. We don't have any kind of IT person just a router that someone brought in. I did get the key and password conformed with others that have no problem with there PC's to connect. They did say though that they were asked to put both in when they connect which does not happen for me. I tried to change the type of security to connect with but the drop down menu does not let me do this. I was hoping to get into the router settings to see if there was something I could change with out luck because of a password on that as well. The person who supplied the router is never around just a part timer so it is not easy to get him to find out anything else with the system. Oh and it shouldn't be any kind of signal issue since the router is set up 10ft away from me with out anything in the line of sight.

Answer 1

your linksys should have the user login and password written under the modem, somewhere near serial number.
if you type in the address on your browser: http://192.168.1.1 (for instance), it will give you login windows.
Just type 192.168.1.1 on user and the password (Password or Admin), it should give you the access unless the guy changed the password.
Once you get inside, you can go to wireless setting and see the actuall password in there.
Even if the guy changed the password, you still can reset that by use a pointy device and push to the reset button next to the power adapter hole.
Sometime you don't need to mess up with your lynksys, just type ssid or connection name correctly and type the "hex" or "alpha numeric".
Some user said thay put $ infront of the sequence number and they connect just fine after that.
Good Luck.
