Linksys router won't talk to me.

Travis86 · 11-27-2003, 03:16 PM

I have a Linsys broadband router at 192.168.1.1 . I can ping it, but it makes no response when I try to log into the router through the web interface. I may have canged the password previously to no usrname and just a password (I've had it sitting around for a while). I don't know if that makes a difference.

How do I log in?

reset it...

http://192.168.1.1

pass admin

I reset it (I assume you mean resetting it by getting a pencil and pushing the button on the front), but it still won't give any response at all. It just times out.

make that and unplug it from the power for 10 minutes... reconnect

I had it unplugged all night before I tried this.

R u going thorugh any other devices i.e switch or r you do doing this hardwired(direct from eth0 to router)?

all lynksys router use the following login

usr:
passwd: admin

+unless u cahnged it

If you cannot connect to it after this then you must have changed the ip of the device - and at that point I cannot offer much additional help.

I can ping 192.168.1.1 and my other computers are 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3, so 192.168.1.1 has to be the router.

And it's not a matter of not remebering the password. It never asks me for the password. It just times out.

mmmm thats totally weird I own two linksys routers one like your an a wireless both of them use the same ip and ask for a password

have you tried with another browser?

Is it possible that Linksys is doing some sort of browser checking? I can connect to the web interface from my windows box, there is no problem. However, if I try to connect from my Linux box (using Mozilla, Netscape or Firebird), I get a "connection refused" message.

Glad to see I'm not the only one scratching my head about this one....

Are you going through any other routing devices? Unless you have a really huge netmask, 192.168.1.1 and 10.0.0.2 are on two different networks.

I finally figured it out.

A guy at a Windows forum told me to turn my computer off and reset the router. I didn't think turning off my computer would make a difference, but apperently it does because now it works.
