Connect a PC directly to the wireless router with an ethernet cable. Open the Internet browser and type in the IP address of the router, which would be in the user manual. The default IP address is "http://192.168.2.1." Press "Enter."
Click the "Login" link at the top left of the page. The "Login" screen will open. Leave this password field blank and click "Submit."
Click "Security" in the "Wireless" section of the task pane on the left of the screen. In the "Security Mode" drop-down menu, select "64 Bit WEP."
Type a password or phrase into the "Passphrase" box and click "Generate." A numeric key will be generated.
Write down the numbers listed after "Key 1," as users will be required to enter them to access the wireless network. Click the "Apply Changes" button to save the new security settings

Setup steps:
- Locate the reset hole on the router. The button will be on the back, side or bottom of the router.
- Leave the router powered on.
- Use a paperclip (or similar) to press and hold in the reset button for 10 seconds.
- Remove the paperclip.
- Wait approximately one minute for the router to restart.
The settings for the router have now been reset back to their default. You may log in to your router and change the password.
