disconnect cable from laptop and router, ensure inbuilt wireless switched on, go to system tray and look for connect to a network icon ( not the virgin icon ) click it and find your network name, click connect put in your passphrase and when it says connected open a browser page and you should be connected. |
I recently had a clean re-install of my system (to allow for re-sizing partition to accomodate Ubuntu OS).
Previously I used to link to router set-up pages via a bookmark and remembered password in my browser. Having cleaned out I lost my more recent bookmarks which werent backed up, and have forgotten the username/password combination I changed from the original....
Will re-setting the router (via the recessed switch at the back) revert the router back to admin and password?
