I need to know how i can get the software since linksys sold out to cisco its impossible for me to get the disc i tried alternatives such as torrents and got nothing. Please help if u have anything or know where to get one!|||Why do you need to use that? Just go to http://192.168.1.1 and configure your router. Default user and password is 'admin'. If the defaults don't work then reset the router.



Default user and passwords:

How to configure WRT54G router:

EDIT:



Check your computer's TCP/IP settings first:

1. If you have Vista or 7, click Start and type "network and sharing center" (w/o the quotes) and hit Enter. Click on Local Area Connection %26gt; Properties. Scroll down and click on TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6.



If you have XP, click on Control Panel %26gt; Network and Internet Connections %26gt; Network Connections. Right click on Local Area Connection. Under General tab, select TCP/IP.



Click Properties. Under the General tab, select "Obtain an IP address automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically". Click OK to close.



Next, configure your router:

1) Connect your computer directly to one of the router's 4 ports using an ethernet cable if it isn't yet.

2) Open your browser and go to this link: http://192.168.1.1



That will take you to the Linksys configuration page. Key in the default user and password as admin and admin.



3) If the defaults don't work, reset the router by pushing a pin or straightened paperclip inside the small hole behind the router. Hold it until the power goes off and back on. This usually takes about 15-30 secs. It will erase all router settings including the wifi password/passphrase and reset them to factory defaults. Go back to step 2 after resetting the router. You should then be able to log in using the default user and password and reconfigure your router.



4) Once you are logged in to your router's user interface, go to the Wireless settings tab. You will see the wifi password/passphrase settings there. Use the more secure WPA Personal encryption instead of WEP unless you have an old wireless device that doesn't support WPA.



Note: If you reset your router as mentioned above, you will also need to change the default user logon name and password so nobody can easily change your settings unless it is again reset the way you just did.



You might also want to use a unique SSID (Service Set IDentifier) so you can easily identify your wireless network in case you are detecting several wifi signals in your area that may have the same SSID. Don't use your name unless you want to. Use an alias instead.



Note also that the login name and password to the router's configuration page is not the same as the SSID and wifi password.|||no i had the same problem. i found a download in a cisco forum though. good luck
