Cannot access your router message

If you cannot access your router because your computer is not connected to your network, follow these troubleshooting steps.

To access your router, you must be connected to your own network. If you currently have wireless Internet access, the problem may be that you have accidentally connected to a different wireless network.

To fix the problem on Windows computers:

1.On your Windows desktop, right-click the wireless icon in the system tray.

2.Click View Available Wireless Networks. A list of available networks appears.

Troubleshooting

3.Click your own network name, then click Connect. In the example below, the computer was connected to another wireless network named JimsRouter. The name of the Linksys E-Series network, BronzeEagle in this example, is shown selected.

4.If you are prompted to enter a network key, type your password (Security Key) into the Network key and Confirm network key fields, then click Connect.

Your computer connects to the network, and you should now be able to access the router.
