- Thanks for the help dear expl0itfinder, I can't reset it because it seems a button is broken or something

- hubbardt, I tried in IE, still no hope, it opens now, but I can't access "Status"

All what I want is a QUICK disconnect/reconnect so I can change my dynamic IP as the ipconfig /renew command don't work for me.

Broken button, that isn't good. I have been searching around for firmware, however Linksys seems to have dropped support for the router, shortly after its release.

I am Domenico and i have linksys wag 200g with windows 8.1 .
I don't open the gateway page (192.168.1.1) . The loading is very slow and isn't possible configure it. I try different browser (firefox,chrome, ie, opera)...
The router is incompatible with windows 8.1?
I have the same problem of user Hesma_3del.
Sorry for my english but i'm italian. My motherboard is AsRock z87 xtreme6/ac.

I think that it would be a good idea to change it, yes. That router is pretty old, and it seems like several people are having problems with it. Also, newer routers are becoming more and more reliable/fast. Here is a personal favorite, if it is available in your area and you have the money to spend on it:

And if that is too much money, then this one is also pretty good:

Hi exploit sorry because in the previous post was wrong nick. Very thanks for your reply. I think that is very annoying changing the router for non-accessibility of the gateway. Thanks for your link, will assess the near future.

Regards!!!

When the url comes up 198.192.1.1 in the new tab right click on the new tab and select "open in immersive browser" and a new window in Windows 8.1 will come up and take you to your a log in page for your router the page will look different. Just log in as usual. I have a new Netgear R6300 and I log into my router by the regular way on my Windows 8.1 laptop but I can't on my desktop Asus computer. I hope this helps some one to be able to log in with out having to use another browser. I also have Chrome as another browser and I can go right into my router the regular way on my desktop so I my have a driver problem with my desktop or with IE 11 on this machine.
