Thanks a lot of for the tutorial! My friend has had this same router for a month now, not knowing how to reset it! As i have been busy, I told him this link and he said it worked like a charm. V. Useful
Hi,
I have the same router (lent from my brother, so I thinked router was configured for other IP) so I wanted to restart it by manual thereinbefore but nothing happend. It means I can’t open 192.168.1.1. to continue working on it!
What I have to do now?
Thx a lot for help.
Same Here! =(
same here..
please help me
Cloned computer MAC adress will be lost after reset?
If neither method works (try both if you haven’t), then the firmware isn’t the manufacturer’s version (or DD-WRT for that matter). If 192.168.1.1 still doesn’t work, it’s likely broken. Talk to the original owner ask if they flash new/different firmware and find out what is is/was. I don’t like the GL anymore – I burned up two of them already – they don’t seem to handle itermittent power fluctuations – the newer WRT54G are great though!
Cloned MACs will likely go too. If it’s not the manf. default, it gets wiped.
PLEASE REPLY TO THIS ONE FOR MY POSTS (I forgot to turn on the email reminder on the other two)
literally sick and tired with redmond after all these several years – I estimate I’ll have to grown to be another apple fan – ffs Not confident who the main borg is Jobs or Ballermer?
try username root with admin password
Hey John,
I tried everything to reset my wrt54g. I’ve followed all the steps to reset. The router reset itself because it’s showing the wireless name ddwrt in my list of wireless options and is not protected.
When I access the router via 192.168.1.1 it will not take the default passwords.
Any ideas?
Stephen
