Re: Router issue

You could have one of many routers, each of which might have different login details. If you have a working connected PC anywhere you can check the login address of the router by going to the network connections of the PC, and checking the connections details / status. The gateway address should be the login address you'd need for your rotuer.

But you have to have a working network connection - without that you will not be able to log in to the router's admin stuff or in fact do much else.

Is it just one PC having connection problems or are you unable to connect anything? If just the one then use a working PC to access the admin stuff.

If it is your only PC that won't connect then getting a wired connection first is the way forward. Is the network card on the PC installed and enabled (you might need to uninstall and reinstall drivers), and it set to autodetect for IP addresses? Try perhaps an alternative network cable.

If all else fails, most routers will allow you to restore to factory settings. You might need to read the manual for that but it will possibly be a small little button on the back that is depressed for a few seconds. Once on factory, a connection should be possible wired enabling you to login to admin and restore all your required security features.
