If you don't have a manual then google the make/model.... there's bound to be info out there.

yes, i do know how to log on to my router... but i cannot find the manual for it.. the make / model is dynamode BR-6004 W-G1.

I can't find a manual yet but I did find this:

"best to do this while connected using a ethernet cable and i believe the default password/username for your router is:

username:guest
Password:guest

open internet explorer and log in to the router via http://192.168.1.1 enter name and password. Click the WAN set up tab at the side and check that you have used Dynamic IP User when you set it up. if not, change it to Dynamic IP and the click the save box at the top. Click Wireless tab and make sure the Disabled Wireless box is NOT checked, Type a name in the SSID box(this will be the name you see when you search for wireless networks from your laptop) and in the Broadcast SSID box check Enabled, click save. Click the security tab at the top and in the Authentication Type drop down box choose WPA then in the KEY box make up a password of between 8 and 63 characters, click save. Then click the MISC tab scroll down and click the restart system tab.


disconnect the ethernet lead and on your laptop make sure your wireless network connection is switched on in the laptop you should then get a wireless networks available box, view networks, click the one you have just named and enter the password you should now be connected open Internet Explorer you should now be online, when you next start your laptop it should automaticaly connect to your network."

The router although a usable little unit has been slated on the net for not coming with a decent manual..

Perhaps the OP can screen capture a few of the wireless settings menu then people can give him good solid advice...

And a dodgy firmware if memory serves, wasn't that the router making multiple IP renewal requests?

That was pretty much the most simplistic explanation possible, just google the terms if you are unsure about them.

If you are in Liverpool, and you cant get this sorted, then let me know and I'll do it for £30.

It is rather easy to do though, and you shouldn't have any problems with it.
