problems setting up corega cg-wlbargp wireless routerHi all
Hope you can help. I am having a problem with a corega wlbargp wireless router, we got given it, we didn't know the password for setting up( i did try username: root password: <blank> ) didn't work so i thought someone had changed the username/password. found the manual on the net and followed the instructions for reseting. restarted everything but the password and username still will not work. Is it possible this can be connected to any setting on my computer,(reason i ask is that i have had this problem with another wireless router(netgear wgr614) and i have reset it and the default username/password will not work.both routers work perfectly as a wired router. This is driving my nuts as my pc/network knowledge is reasonable and we have been running networks at home for at least the last 7 years. enroh wrote:

With router powered on, press and hold reset button. Keep reset button depressed for this entire sequence. 2. With reset button depressed, wait 30 seconds, then disconnect power 3. Keeping reset button depressed, connect power to router 4. Keep reset button depressed for at least 30 seconds 5. With reset button still depressed, disconnect power. Now you can let go of the button. If that doesn't work, try leaving the user name blank (instead of "root").

Thanks for your advice,was able to sign in after following your instructions and then changed the settings i needed to change. The question about settings on the computer was me clutching at straws. Next i will try it on my other netgear router with the same symtoms and hope it works as well. your help was very much appreciated cheers tony Lem wrote: Show quote >> Hi all >> Hope you can help.

By holding the reset button and powering it on and off seemed to reset the router properly and then allowed the default username and password to be used. It only worked on the corega and did not work on the netgear wireless router i have with the same problem, although in the case of the netgear i cannot even get the login page to come up at all. but it still works as a wired router.
