Just go to www.linksys.com/kb select the model no.of your router and you will get step by step help to setup your router. you can also call linksys tech. support and i am here to solve your problem.
if this is a new router then connect it to your system through ethernet cable and go to internet explorer and type 192.168.1.1 at the add. bar it will prompt for the password. leave the user blank and type admin in the password linksys setup page should open. now click on the WIRELESS TAB and on the basic wireless settings change the defale SSID NAME to your girlfriend's name and also click on reset security and click on save settings. reload the page and now go to wireless security tab and select WEP in the security tab. now type 10character password in the KEY 1 field directly and click on SAVE SETTINGS and that's it. Now when you connect to your network you will have to enter your 10 char password in your DELL LAPTOP and it should work fine now. call tech support or go to the above link for further assistance

I'm going nuts now. This page 192.168.1.1 doesn't open. I have changed it into bridge, now i wanna put it back...

you might 192.168.16.1 instead. Its amazing that somebody that claims to be from suport knows nothing about the product.

The last router I set up was 192.168.1.0 You can reset the routers IP address By holding in the reset button on the back of the router for up to 45 seconds, but this will only reset it to default, which will be something like 192.168.1.1 or 196.168.16.1, or 192.168.1.0, you really need the manual that come with the router beacause not all of them set up the same, similar but not the same, It will ask for a login name "admin" and password which is blank. Just hit enter, but I have set up a router where this was backwards. The login name was blank and the password was "admin" . Good luck

The Linksys WRT54GS address is 192.168.1.1 and the problem may be that you are using a pass phrase to set up the WEP. As far as I know, Dell doesn't support the use of pass phrases. Try making up your own key using 26 charecters. Use any number and the letters a,b,c,d,e,and f.
