Sometimes I can't help it...it restarts behind my back.

I think they were just trying to help me change the Administrative password. :dunno:

 

That definetly sounds like it needs to be reset. There should just be a little hole on the back that you can hold a paper clip in for around 10 seconds till all the lights start to blink. That will probably be the only fix.

 

I'll try to reset it for now and see how that goes.

 

If you need any help with the config, just post the model and I'll grab an online emulator and help ya out.

 

I've had this happen several times on my linksys. Every time the only fix was a firmware upgrade. so +1 on that.

 

Yeah, I was afraid it may be a firmware upgrade... I forgot to add in that if he has PPPOE DSL... I hope he remembers his user ID and password for it.... otherwise - oops.

 

So I reset my wireless router and restarted my computer....things seem to be going ok but the signal strength sucks. I mean, it's no different than it was when I first set it up months ago but how can I improve the signal? I'm maybe 30 feet away in my living room and it's only like 25% strength at best.

How do I upgrade it? I can't seem to find where to do that. :hsdunno:

 

What kind of router is it? Don't feel like re-reading.


Also, build a shelf near your ceiling, place the router there. Usually helps

 

I typed in my IP and it brought up a login for my username and password. My username and/or password doesn't seem to be working now. :a:

It's a linksys WRT54G2 (the non-antenna style). and We have a cordless phone on a 2.4GHZ frequency as well so that might be causing some interference...?

 

username: nothing (blank)
password: admin

and, it could...try a different channel on the phone
