Bttrfly Posted October 5, 2013 ID:738193 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I'm trying to get on the Linksys page so I can change some things in there. I type the Linksys IP address in my browser and a box pops up to put name and password in, after I do that the page just turns white? anyone have any idea whats going on?

Bttrfly Posted October 5, 2013 Author ID:738263 Share Posted October 5, 2013 also, it won't take the admin.It does take a user name and password I put in, but the page is just white after that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bttrfly Posted October 5, 2013 Author ID:738267 Share Posted October 5, 2013 do you think something on my computer would be block it? I just don't know where to look to change anything if it was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 5, 2013 ID:738269 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Linksys WRT54G Username: < blank, no name >Password: admin All routers have a "reset" button which you can hit to cause the Router to return to factory defaults including the default password. Before doing that however, was this included with a cable provider's "package" such as from Comcast ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bttrfly Posted October 5, 2013 Author ID:738277 Share Posted October 5, 2013 This is what it says in the box:Authentication RequiredThe server http://192.168.1.1'>requires a username and password.the server says: WRT54G Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 5, 2013 ID:738283 Share Posted October 5, 2013 If you properly hit the reset button (not hit switch and release but hold it in with a pen's tip for 30 seconds) then it will bring the unit to default factory settings of not using a username but the password being; admin That is the default unless Linksys provided the unit to companies like Comcast who then provides it to their subscriber's in a package deal. In that case they may supply their own defaults such as the Username being: Administrator or comcast and the password being; 1234, admin or password Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bttrfly Posted October 5, 2013 Author ID:738291 Share Posted October 5, 2013 It worked!! but stay close, I may need more help Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H. Lipman Posted October 5, 2013 ID:738292 Share Posted October 5, 2013 A few notes: * Make sure you use WPA2 AES (high number bits) encryption and make sure the SSID password is a Strong Password* Turn off ICMP responses from the Internet. { Disable WAN ICMP Echo Requests (e.g. pings and ICMP traceroute queries) }* Disable any management of the Router from the POV of the Internet. All management should be performed from the LAN side.* Don't use a SSID name that ties the WiFi service to you or your family. Use whimsical names and the like.* Change the default management password of the Router to one you know.* Document passwords created and store them in a safe but accessible location.

David H. Lipman Posted October 5, 2013 ID:738296 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I don't have the unit "here" such that I can tell you specifically what pages to load and capture screens and post them. I can only give you generic information that can be applied to any Router. You may capture screens and post them and I can guide through the settings.

CWB Posted October 5, 2013 ID:738322 Share Posted October 5, 2013 "piece meal" ... this would mean the really important "chunks" on the screen ... not needed are things like all the tabs/bookmarks you have showing (and such as that) .you may have to bring the stuff up on screen and then using a screen capture program that you can "set" the area you want and save/attach it .a possible option would be to use a pdf of the manual for your router ... but ... if the manual is slightly different from what you have in front of you things are going to go south pretty fast .i have seen slight permutations of manuals and devices ... not pleasant to sort out .
