IF the DSL modem comes up, disconnect DSL modem from Linksys router %26amp;%26amp; perform steps AFTER PC Command Line again.|||Disconnect your modem and strictly communicate with your router. Once you are in, you can change the IP for the router to something other than 192.168.1.1





I also wonder if you always end up communicating with the modem and not the router or if it changes. I know that linksys sometimes uses 192.168.2.1 as its IP as well.





Once you are in, it should be easy to do the rest.|||You can connect the router to the computer directly and type the address into the address bar of your browser.Or follow the links below for a more advanced and harder fix.
