Setting up your Linksys router on Cable ISP connection

Setting up your Linksys router on Cable ISP connection (this applies to most common modems with or without VoIP and other routing features)

MAC ADDRESS CLONING: Media Access Controller Address Cloning


Launch your Internet Explorer, Netscape or your Mozilla.

On the Address, Search or URL, type: http://192.168.1.1, then hit Enter/Return. A login screen will appear. Type admin for the password and leave the username blank or empty then hit “OK”.

Note: If it doesn’t take admin as the password you might have changed it when you have ran the RUN ME FIRST CD that came with the router so try other passwords.

If you cannot remember the password, I regret to tell you but, you have to reset the router and, reconfigure it again. Next time, remember the password to avoid unnecessary reset and reconfiguration.

To reset the router to factory default

1] Press and hold the reset button for 30 sec., after that
2] Unplug the power keep holding down the reset button for another 30 sec.
3] Then, plug back the power keep holding down the reset button for 30sec., after that
4] Release the reset button.


Note: Setting up the MAC Address Clone varies depending on the model number and firmware version of your Linksys Router.
