Hiya,

I hope someone can help with this - we have a wireless network at our house, we have a system where the main PC is connected to the main router, an ethernet cable connecting the main router to a Safecom 4 port wireless broadband router which allows our laptop to connect in from anywhere in the house.

Our internet went down this morning and would have been fixed for both computers if I hadnt mistakenly pressed the reset button on the wireless router instead of the main one!!

This now means that we can connect the main PC into the internet by just plugging it straight into the normal router, but we have no idea on how to make the wireless router ok so that the laptop can connect as it seems that the passwords etc have all been reset and the network will no longer allow a connection.

Can anyone help? Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks very much for your help/advice in advance!

    Routers instructions log in to router be something like 192.168.1.1 in your web browser address bar user name plus password . Switch off remove wireless security
    then get the wireless machines to connect to this password free router . Once they speaks with each other you can set a new security level and password in the router then change the laptops to this new password /
    No log in details for router Google it and or get manual download from manufacturers web site though from memory safecom uses 192.168.1.1 user Admin and Password Admin though the A may be small case .

    You can download a manual if you know your model number, i got the 10.0.0.2 off their website but it may be different for your model
