I Am Unable to Log In to the Wireless Router

If you are unable to log in to the wireless router, check the following:

If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the previous section.

Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.

Typically, your computer’s address should be in the range of 255.255.255.0.2 to 255.255.255.0.254. Refer to your computer’s documentation for help with finding your computer’s IP address.

If your computer’s IP address is 169.254.x.x, verify that you have a good connection from the computer to the router, and then restart your computer.

Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded. Try closing the browser and starting it again.
