today i tried to change my ps3 connection from the modem itself to the linksys router. the adapter wasn't getting the connection from the router so i gave up.
i then tried to connect the computer to the router through the adapter (as i usually use it). it made the connection to the router itself but it wouldn't connect to the internet. i checked the cables, everything was fine. so i figure the problem was that the router reset itself as it sometimes does. i type in '192.168.1.1' in the address bar and then the password 'admin.'
while in the settings page on the 2nd main tab where it says to set a router name, i accidentally clicked on the reset button. all of a sudden the connection to the router disconnected. i tried to re-connect but i noticed it changed the name from 'linksys' to ' linksys_SES_61052' and it's a secured network. i don't know the password since i never set one. how can i undo this? i can't get internet on any computer. im on the ps3 right now with the modem connected directly to the ps3 =/Linksys router name changed and i don%26039;t know the password?
press and hold the reset button in on the router for 5secs and release, wait for it to load again, this will set it to factory settingsLinksys router name changed and i don%26039;t know the password?
once you've removed access to the router and you cannot get back in, you may need to do a hard reset for the router and take it back to 'factory defaults'. this is done different ways depending on the router, you may need to read the manual. then you will have to reset everything on it.Linksys router name changed and i don%26039;t know the password?
Reset your router to the factory settings. Someone might have logged into your router and changed the name and settings around. You should secure your router and your wireless connection by setting up the following:
- Change the default password on the router
- Change the SSID
- Disable SSID broadcast
- WEP or WPA
- MAC Filtering
