It seems like a lot of problems above are related to WRT54G, as are mine. I am exhausted from typing in admin as password...it is clearly not accepting. Suggestions? sorry, i am following all the instructions, getting the right username and password from the helpful cirt web site, but it just keeps popping up with the username/password box, apparently not accepting it.

I show my unsecure and secure connections. When I try to connect through the secure connection I am unable to connect to any web pages even though it shows me as being connected. If I use the unsecure connection everything works fine. What to do now? Thx Followed the above procedures to setup a secure wireless network. I show my unsecure and secure connections.

I had to change my router back to factory default by accessing the router through my wired desktop (easier than finding the little button). I don't know what the problem is. I followed the steps exactly - tried it 3x's. No internet after secured. Had to go back to default and unsecured. Linksys won't help me without giving them another $30...warranty ended 2 months ago!

I can honestly say I have never heard of anyone doing that before. I think it is actually a fantastic thing to offer people who are in range of your network, but you are, of course, correct. Giving them access is one thing, but limiting that access should be an option. It seems like something that would not be too hard to cook up. Let me know if you find anything. Congrats to Sean M.

It's usually so small that you will need a needle or something similar to push it. Press the button and hold it for 10 or so seconds. This should reset the router back to unsecured states and wipe all added settings. Each router has a reset button that resets the router to factory default settings.
