About a month ago my brother played with the router and now all of a sudden, my linksys router does not show up with my username and doesnt have a password! it just has linksys and an option to connect.

The only way i can connect to my original internet with my username and password is by connecting my laptop directly to my router with an ethernet cable. please help :(

If your still able to go on your network, I'm pretty sure you're able to access the Admin site for your router, if your on Windows, you can go into start and type in "cmd.exe" then hit enter, once you do that, you type in "ipconfig", then it should tell you some information. Once that's done, you can scroll down until it says "Default Gateway (192 or 10).(168 or 10).(Number).(Number)". Go onto Google chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer or something like that and type in the numbers with the ., like mine is 192.168.2.1.

Else if your not able to get on your network or access the admin site, you have to do this. Go to your router, get a pen or something with a tip, then go to your router and use the pen or something else and hold down the reset button for 1 minute (Minimum) to reset your router. Then your whole network should be reset and no one can access your network without configuring it, which they can't.
