[G4] Re: Hacked Router

[Eric Buczynski]

It should be pretty easy.  On all routers there is a small button on  
the back labeled "reset". You should be able to press that using the  
tip of a pencil or pen which will reset the router. After that, use  
the computer that the router is connected to, open the browser, and  
in the URL field (the field where you type in the name of the web  
site you want to visit), type in the address of the router. It should  
be something like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.2. Check the manual of the  
router for specific details.

Once the address goes through you should be presented with an array  
of menus and options to choose from. It's here that you can choose a  
new login and password, and even set a higher type of security (WPA2  
vs. WEP). Again, the router manual will have more details.
