How do I get my Linksys working again?

Question

Hey all. My problem has to do with the fact I thought I could get WiFi on my Wii. Well, I didn't know my WEP code and somebomebody suggested I just hard reset the router. My problem is thta now I can't get my computer to access it. I tried to use the 192.168.1.1 code, but it just won't go to where I can sign in (I know, when it's reset that it is SN Admin, pw:admin) So yea...now niether my computer nor Wii can access my linksys (I had to re-plug the modem directly into my comp to get on) What can I do to fix this and what did I do wrong?

*** I got to where I could access it and it only says "Management Mode Firmware Upgrade" Then it ask for a file name that I can browse for and under that it has an apply and reset button. So what do I do now?

Answer 1

Sometimes the network just can't be established because, LINKSYS SUCKS!

Answer 2

If your router says "Management Mode Firmware Upgrade" it is in the firmware upgrade mode - not what you want at all (and a dangerous place to be!)

Basically, you may need to go to linksys,com and download the firmware for your particular router and reload it!

This usually happens if you hold the reset button down too long while resetting the router to the default settings. It can clear the routers software!

Answer 3

Reconnect everything the way it was originally

Boot the linksys first

Boot the comp 2nd

Open browser type "192.168.1.1"
