Belkin Wireless Router - password Problems

vickym

Hi I hope someone out there can help me

I set up a password on my belkin router a while ago and cannot for the life of me remember what it was

Is there any way of resetting it or something

Thanks
Vicky

Can you tell me the model number/name of the router please

if you mean the router password, there is a reset button on the back, but it will lose all your router settings when you press it.

Defaults are Belkin 192.168.2.1 nousernameleaveblank nodefaultpasswordleaveblank


If you mean your wireless encryption key, then go to http://192.168.2.1 and look under the wireless settings, or use this on a working PC

Thanks for the info
What it is, when my router goes off - I have in the past gone to http://192.168.2.1 and then restarted the router - but since someone told me about security issues I put a password on the setting on the 192.168.2.1 site and this is the password I cannot remember.

If I press the reset button at the back of the router (which I have done before will this get rid of the password) i have only previously used the reset button on the back before I put a password on it

Sorry to be a pain I am not very technical

It will reset the router to the state it was when you bought it, meaning that it will lose all your isp details/password and encryption passwords, so you will have to reconfigure it again.

Thanks Albertross


When I have used the reset button in the past once the router has powered back up it has remembered my ip address etc
But just in case it doesnt what sort of info do I need to reconfigure it again and where can I find this info

Thanks

Hi Vicky
this link

will take you to the support page for your unit. The link to download the manual is not working at present but if you click on the link there is also a link to email for assistance. Belkin have great support and usually get back to you quickly.

You will need your isp username and password, and encryption key, or you will have to setup encryption up again.

Hi Back - but no sucess - the password is still showing as invalid and belkins default should be to just leave the box blank but when I press submit it comes up with "password Invalid"

Thanks for all the advice - I think I will just have to speak to Belkin in the morning.

Enjoy the rest of whats left of your evening and once again thanks so much
