Click that link and enter name and password

Name: admin
Password: password

That should get you into router settings.


Then look for "Wireless Settings" and key.

I'm afraid that wouldn't let me in!

where did the router come from, and who put a password on it?

if it isn't password, then you will have to reset it and put all the details back in again

Some reseach found this

• The router username is always [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]admin[/FONT]
• The default password is [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]password[/FONT] or (for older routers) [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]1234[/FONT]

Try the default username and password before resetting the router to the factory defaults.
When a router resets, it goes back to the state when it was new — all information that was entered by hand is lost! Examples are critical things you need to get online, such as ISP username, ISP password, IP addresses, security keys, and ports and services that were opened. It all needs to be re-entered.
So, have your ISP information before resetting the router.
Naturally, if you moved to a new city, or if you bought a used router, the old information in the router may not be of use to you.

Reset for most routers with a reset button on the rear panel

Write down configuration information such as IP addresses, security keys, opened ports and services, etc., that you modified. (The default username is admin and the password is either password or 1234. Try these before resetting the router.)

1. Press the reset button on the back until the test light blinks. This takes about 10 seconds. (To avoid accidental resets, the small button is recessed. Use a pen or paperclip to access it.)
2. Release the button.
3. Wait for the router to reboot.
4. Log in with the default password. If the router was not cleared, try these additional steps AFTER the router has finished rebooting.
5. Unplug the router's power.
6. Press and hold the reset button. While the button is held down, reconnect router's power.
7. Continue to hold the reset button for 20 seconds after reconnecting the power.
8. Wait for the router to reboot.
9. Log in with the default password.

Was the PC connected to the router using an Ethernet cable when you did this?

If you only have one PC, get it configured wired, before trying wireless!
