Which username and password are you trying to logon with ? The default is

username:admin

password:password

Re: Problems with Negear wireless router!!!
 

Im using the one the man who set up the wep used. I have also tried the default one with admin and password, I cannot access with either of these as the signal strength seems to be so low and the page never opens

In the Start menu, click on Run & in the box that appears type command & enter.

In the window that opens, type ipconfig & enter & post what output you get.

You can close the window by typing exit & enter...

Connection - specific DNS Suffix
Ethernet Adaptor Local Area Connection
IP Address 192.168.0.2
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default gateway 192.168.0.1
Ethernet adaptor wireless network connection
Media status.....media disconnected

Re: Problems with Negear wireless router!!!
 

So 192.168.0.1 is the correct IP address for your router because it gives that as the gateway.

Can you still not get into the router interface by typing that into the address bar?

Is your browsing still slow even though you're connected wired?

Re: Problems with Negear wireless router!!!
 

Correct, still cant get into the browser interface and the browsing is still very slow

Re: Problems with Negear wireless router!!!
 

Does the netgear have an option to disable admin access via wireless? I know linksys routers do. This may explain why you can't get to the router config page. Try connecting via a ethernet cable, a low signal strength shouldn't stop you from accessing the config page.

Re: Problems with Negear wireless router!!!
 

Correct, am connected via ehternet cable. Do you think I should delete the router and and then reinstall it?

Re: Problems with Negear wireless router!!!
 

I don't you can access the router through wireless.;)
