thank you so much......i called the linksys technicians and they were going to take $30 to help me do the same thing....may you be successful in this life and in the after life ..very grateful
I bought a refurb Linksys e900 and the CD was useless. I needed a fresh install and it was trying to link me to an existing network and had nothing about wires to my laptop so I knew there was a problem with their info. I found your video and was done in less than 10mins. Had a few problems when it came to the security screen due to differences in models but once you got me to that page I could find my way around. Thanks so much for a clear, concise video! :)
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your video is still relevant in January 2017! Somehow, we lost the PW to our (ancient) router and your video helped me secure a new one for it. Thank you, Nick!
Very helpful video! Super useful as I'm reusing this years after I bought it and the setup instructions were thrown out years ago. Thanks for the help!
Thanks for coming back and leaving your feedback. Glad my video tutorial helped you out. Subscribe if you would like to see more videos like this one.👍😎
I'm still having trouble. My computer is on and I try and type it in just like this 192.168.1.1 And nothing happens, it doesn't navigate me anywhere and no password box comes up. What does this mean?
I have it connected like in this video. My computer recognizes the router, and I am able to access the setup. However, there is no connectivity for my desktop computer, the one that is directly connected to the router. Also, my Mac will pick up the wireless and I login, but there is no internet connectivity. Can you help please?
We always use the IPS address like you show at 2:17 but for some odd reason its not working at all so we can login by any chance did they change it since we wanted to add a NEW modem?
Whenever you change networks or Internet provider or move to a new house, you most likely will need to perform a repeater reset by using the RESET button (press and hold for a real 12-14 seconds) while it's plugged into a wall outlet and power is on, then release the RESET button and go through the setup steps again as shown in my video. Also try moving the Extender closer to where your router is located while setting it up, then you can move it if you need to. Also when setting it up double check that you are using the correct wifi password to connect to your router with the Extender during setting it up and again that it's close to the primary router during the setup and configuration steps.
We reset the button, got router and modem sitting beside us but nothing never happened at all except for WIFI cuts off when router plugged in and the IP address does not open up at all like you showed in video when that's what we are used to using. Unsure why nothing happened since all 3 devices are beside each other, we are on our 2nd modem.@@nickscomputerfix
I have a laptop with an internal wifi adapter, which enables me to view other wireless networks within reach. In regarding my desktop, can you recommend any resources where it would advise me how to setup an external router (without the Ethernet cable into the wall), to view wifi networks within reach? Your thoughts would be highly appreciated.
Is there a way to track data usage of devices connected to this router? I have TV, mobiles, laptops connected. Just want to know how much data consumption is happening.
Please tell me a good extender/repeater (under $30, or used and cheap, if possible) to improve the connection between my Roku in a nearby room and my Linksys router (probably model WRT120N). Thanks!
You can find this one for around $30. Go to my UA-cam channel nickscomputerfix and watch my video production titled: "Netgear n300 WiFi range Extender- Wifi Repeater Setup & reView - WiFi extender for Gaming"
also i have my router completely set up and working but on my windows 7 laptops on all 3 of them they say limited network access and it crashes my internet completely anytime i try connecting with those laptops would you know what to do to fix this problem?
Hey men, I have same router us your, but I can't access my router and the modem to connect to Internet. Their are connected the power for both the router and modem. My laptop connected also. Nothing working. I very confused about router. Is this give WI-FI or just a connection to other device? I have no idea about wifi and how to get them. So I research it pop up this Linksys N900 Smart WI-FI stuff. I really want wireless Internet to my home, so I thought bought Linksys today. Sorry for to long sentence. I just need help.
I have followed your video step by step, and I do fine until I get to the point to change the password and a box pops up to put the user name and pw in. I put in admin in both places and it does not accept them. I have reset the router at least 3 times. Any suggestions? I have to get this done because I have a strange computer showing up on my network map. I believe this person has gone in and changed the password while I was gone for the holidays, because when I came home my system was pw protected when it had not been when I left. help!!
I tried typing in that address on chrome. Said "webpage not available" I'm getting real frustrated, since I've been trying for DAYS to get the internet on my computer working.
I went through the video step by step and it appears my linksys router is producing a signal but once I connect my computer or phone to the wifi signal the Internet does not work. Any thoughts?
Nope. You can either use it as a Router or AP (Access Point). You might want to get a Extender/Repeater: "Netgear n300 WiFi range Extender- Wifi Repeater Setup & reView - WiFi extender for Gaming" ua-cam.com/video/CkNTIEHqTvg/v-deo.html
went there but it said i needed a cd or download for it to work? when i got the download finally it said my computer wasnt up to date (7.1.1 or later) but im already updated to 10.10.5..... wtf i just want wifi
***** When we connect to the WiFi network from our Linksys router, we can't access the internet even though the cable is plugged in. It is already setup, it has worked before. But now it wont. So to clarify; You can connect to it, but you can't get on the internet. Please help. It's driving me crazy!
your set up is ok now, just go to the 192.168.1.1 that he is talking about, type admin for password and if you are now in a set up page, click mac address clone, its a sub tab and there you enable the radio button and click Clone my PCs Mac and save settings and now you are good to go
After doing this I was asked to put in a user name and pw. It did not like what I was putting in. Am I suppose to put in the admin pw here or what??? thanks for helping.
Please help me sir and reply asap. I just need some help. I'm trying to install my cisco connect @ my windows 8 laptop and it always stuck @ 90% can you help me please? Pretty please? Just need some explanation to finish the installation. God bless and Good Day ! :)
everytime i enter the admin and admin pass it just takes me back to the same page??? i have linksys E1000 im trying to setup also i lost the setup cd is that required??? thanks
The setup CD is not required when doing it manually. I believe for your E1000 you need to leave the User ID space empty (blank) and only type in admin as the password. If that does not work, Google using keywords: linksys e1000 default password

Is there a way to track data usage of devices connected to this router? I have TV, mobiles, laptops connected. Just want to know how much data consumption is happening.
I believe you can see that in advance router settings....depending on which firmware version you are running under.

Thank youu sooo much!!
Very nice 👍
I went through the video step by step and it appears my linksys router is producing a signal but once I connect my computer or phone to the wifi signal the Internet does not work. Any thoughts?
Reset your Internet modem. Have your ISP do a test to see if they can see your router by way of your Internet modem.
i put in admin for both username and password but it did not work
it is telling that it coudnt found and does its adress has been changed sorry for my english
I have a problem with my (WRT54G) linksys router , becuase its frameware is not in english also i cant get an english frameware for this model...
Hmmm...I see a firmware update in English. All I did was Google with keywords: wrt54g firmware update
wont let me in and I cant rememeber what I left it as since I haven't used this in 2 years
Cool. Thanks!
can you wifi repeat with this router?
Nope. You can either use it as a Router or AP (Access Point). You might want to get a Extender/Repeater: "Netgear n300 WiFi range Extender- Wifi Repeater Setup & reView - WiFi extender for Gaming" ua-cam.com/video/CkNTIEHqTvg/v-deo.html
nickscomputerfix thank you for the help and fast reply
went there but it said i needed a cd or download for it to work? when i got the download finally it said my computer wasnt up to date (7.1.1 or later) but im already updated to 10.10.5..... wtf i just want wifi

+superswede97 see internet status , make it dhcp

Please help me sir and reply asap. I just need some help. I'm trying to install my cisco connect @ my windows 8 laptop and it always stuck @ 90% can you help me please? Pretty please? Just need some explanation to finish the installation. God bless and Good Day ! :)
what is the point of the router if it right next to the main router?
Cobruh that big one is not a router that is a modem
everytime i enter the admin and admin pass it just takes me back to the same page??? i have linksys E1000 im trying to setup also i lost the setup cd is that required??? thanks
The setup CD is not required when doing it manually. I believe for your E1000 you need to leave the User ID space empty (blank) and only type in admin as the password. If that does not work, Google using keywords: linksys e1000 default password
***** will do thanks for the reply :)
Thanks, Nick, but when I enter 192.168.1.1, it opens up the settings for my DSL modem, not my router. Any suggestions?
Is your DSL modem and router one unit?
Wow. That was fast.
No, I have separate modem and router.
Go to a Command Prompt > type: ipconfig > see what your Default Gateway IP address is and try that one.
Thanks, Nick. That helped. It was not the usual IP address.
:-)
thank you !!!!!
How to setup without modem ?
