| 529164 | 2007-03-01 19:12:00 | This seems important, folks: PCWNZ Geoff Palmer's article here: blogs.pcworld.co.nz and he lists 1,100 passwords here: www.phenoelit.de So I had better change the password on our Dynalink. Will have to try and find the user manual as I have no idea how to do this. Maybe a call to my ISP would be better. Anyone else changing their passwords? |

| 529165 | 2007-03-01 19:34:00 | www.pressf1.co.nz In regards to the list of 1,100 default passwords it's good to see that the LevelOne devices I have been using aren't listed :D |

Enter in the default username admin and password admin. This will give you a page where you can change your password. I changed my default password the day I got the router. |

Jen, is this via Control Panel or somewhere else? (been looking, cannot see) |

| 529169 | 2007-03-01 20:30:00 | Open up your web browser and enter in 192.168.1.1 for the address. This should give you access to the web-based admin interface of the router for Dynalinks. | Jen (38) | ||
| 529170 | 2007-03-02 03:32:00 | Or 192.168.2.1 for some routers. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 529171 | 2007-03-02 03:38:00 | Changing the password is the first thing I do (to ANYTHING), I even change the user name...:cool: | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 529172 | 2007-03-02 04:00:00 | Your routers IP address may be quite different from the ones given above. If you don't know it open up a command line interface by going.... Start menu > Run > type cmd in the text box and hit Enter or OK. > In the resulting black text box type > netstat -r > a table will be produced, under the Gateway column will be you routers IP number. Just to check that, look at Default Gateway in the bottom left of the table, again it should list your routers IP address. Try not to confuse the routers IP with your computers' or that of a (cable) modem that sits on the WAN side of the network (the latter is not a problem for those with A|DSL, all in one routers). TEOR, you're absolutely bang on right too. This router password issue has been around for years and indeed has been actively exploited for years. BTW, If you on Windows 2k or XP and you don't mind fiddling with your Windows network properties, you can get the same info there, but then you knew that already didn't you smarty pants. :) |
