    you need to change the router's wireless encryption from WPA (secure) to WEP (swiss cheese)

    i guess you havent set the username and password to 1 of your choice, try admin and password for username and password, i dont know if it helps but i have the nintendo usb wifi dongle which i use to connect my ds so i can play against other people

    Username is Admin, Password is SKY until you change it

    your computer (if connected wirelessly) would say limited connectivity until you reconnected to the router as you've just changed the default connection...
