Hey All! My friend just got a new wireless router. He has just upgraded from a 2meg connection to a 16 meg connection, so he gave me his old router. I want to change the SSID and wep key, but I don't know what the IP of the router is. I know for a fact that in order to change the router settings, you need the IP address of the router. 192.168 or something like that. I know what it is for Speedtouch, but not for D-Link. Can Anyone help?

:)

...determine the make and model of the router (usually on a sticker on the bottom) then go the manufacturers website and they have instructions on how to set all that stuff up, and how to log in and such

If you know he didn't change the default ip address then the default address for a Dlink is

192.168.0.1

Otherwise you can hit the reset button and it will change all setting to default then you can use the above address to get in.

1. You can reset the router using a paper clip to push in the reset button (small recesesed button on the back) then find the manual at d-link for the default settings.
2.Plug in the router to your network. Click "start", click "run", type "cmd" in the run box, then type "ipconfig" in the command box. The "default gateway" is the router IP

I am shocked at how many people are horrible on TechRepublic. Out of how ever many people have put posts for me, only 3 of them have been helpful/ nice and the rest have been sarcastic/unhelpful/horrrible. I am therefore leaving
TechRepublic and I will be starting my own forum about computer problems. So, to all of you that have been horrible, F**K YOU!

Ending the way you did just puts you on the same bucket as those you are slating. The irony is brilliant even if you are not so.

You say "TechRepublic and I will be starting my own forum" ??

Doubt it!

Try the default of 192.168.0.1 if that doesn't work then just hold the reset button in for I think it is 10 sec and that will reset everything and all you got to do is reconfigure to your specs
