Wireless Belkin Router Problem

agaw04

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if you could help me. So I'm a student living with mates. We all decided to pitch in and buy some broadband. We got a wireless router from UPC Ireland & it worked firn for the first few months. We had the security key disabled, NO WEP/WPA/WPA2, so anyone could connect to us. Unfortunately somebody accessed the router and tried to change the IP address but changed some other setting, we don't know who it was & now we cannot access it and are also locked out of the router. We don;t know what's wrong. We can connect via wireless, but all that comes up is No network access or No internet access. 192.168.1.1 does not work, but when we enter 192.168.1.3, that does bring us to a white page, but nothing more. It reads Limited Connectivity in the Wireless network connection.

I use a toshiba a500-17x laptop using a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC card. I use windows 7.


This is what comes up when I use cmd and type ipconf/all.

Hopefully you can help me get the broadband working again. I do not have access to the router itself anymore. It's been moved, but I do know it is a Belkin type wireless router if that helps.

If I was being a malicious hacker type then I'd change the Default IP scheme to something obscure, changing the SSID, turning off broadcasting turning on WPA2, turning on mac filtering to almost totally prevent you from accessing it and change the root password as well. Essentially if I wanted to and hacked into a router I'd set it up the way it should have been done in the first place to prevent people from hacking it.

Basically the point I'm trying to make is you could mess around for a good long while trying to randomly guess your way to it and then spend just as long trying to hack your way in and the reality is you'll probably never succeed.

The only way you'll get your router back under control is by physically getting to it and using the reset switch. That will set it back to day 1 retail and then from there configure it properly.
