Help! The WRT54GL Default Password Doesn’t Work!
If the default password for your Linksys WRT54GL doesn’t work, it most likely just means that it’s been changed from admin to something more secure (which is a good thing). To restore the custom password to the default password, reset the router to its factory default settings. To reset the WRT54GL router: At this point, to re-enable the wireless internet and other custom settings like DNS servers, re-enter that information. Resetting the router doesn’t only remove the password, but also any custom changes you’ve made to it. After you’ve made any wanted changes, back up the router configuration so that you can restore those changes in the future if you ever have to reset the router again. You can learn how to do this on Page 21 of the user manual (there’s a link to the manual below).
What to Do When You Can’t Access the Router
By default, you should be able to access the WRT54GL router through the http://192.168.1.1 address. If not, it just means that it’s been changed since the router was first set up. All you need to find the router IP address is the default gateway of a computer that’s currently connected to the router. You don’t have to reset the whole router like you do when the password is lost (however, if you do reset the router, the default IP address is restored, too). See How to Find Your Default Gateway IP Address if you need help doing this in Windows. The IP address you find there is the one to enter in the web browser URL bar to access the router.
