User name

[Bluecat_66]

Hello,

I have got to the log page and I have "admin" password. How do I access the User name?

Are you talking about a router?
Have you tried putting admin in both the user name and password spots?

 

[Bluecat_66]

Yes and sometimes I get a time-out message and other times I get the log in page ie enter user name and password

What brand and model router is it?

By default most use admin as the user name and/or password but each company is a little different. I have seen some that also use "user" to access the router.

And other than needing to access the router settings, your internet is working fine?

Hi I have a Linksys Router model number WRT 5468. I can access the internet fine. My challenge is accessing the security key as I have reinstalled my laptop and although it reads the router it asks for the security key. I shall try the word "user" Thanks

I would look for the manual as most if not all of them are on the Linksys site. But that model number doesn't exist.

In that case if you changed nothing you use admin as the password and leave the user name blank.

Hi Got there at last by reinstalling from the CD. Have internet access now on the desktop and laptop. Thanks for all your support. Just a small challenge now and thats how to enable a security key because now I'm not prompted for one. Strange! Any ideas most welcome

 

[Bluecat_66]

Just figured it out and I have enabled the WEP Key. Upon reflection I would have been no use in the "Hurt Locker"

LOL, yeah networking is a funny thing. So many litytle factors involved and any one of them can mess you up. Everything i know is pretty much self taught, which is a frustrating way to learn how to do anything :lol:

Glad you got it all working.
