Perhaps someone can assist.

I can change the password for the wrt54gs and wre54g products from
Linksys but do not know how to put in a User Name for added security.

Thanks for any assistance.

Sincerely
Patty

I doubt that you can. Neither of my Linksys routers has a username,
just a password. Your browser displays a standard dialog, not
specific to Linksys, that includes a username field. You can leave
that field blank to login to the router. If you want your browser to
remember the login details, you'll probably need to specify a dummy
username.

Thanks. You are correct. I called Linksys. They said there is no way to
change this.

Thanks so much

There isn't a way to change user names. If you want to use automatic login
(which it sounds like you don't, but in case you decide you do) you may be
able to use root. Otherwise, just leave it blank. The dialog is just a
standard one that pops up.

Ok well i was browising the web on google about my Linksys WRT54GX and i saw that you guyz said that the user name could not be changed. well let me explane what im goin to say well back when i got my router i had no idea how to change its settings or enable WEP so after a while i got bored and did a lil google search i learned how to log into my router but the defult password did not work so i typed in my
name (rayn) and then my school ID which was my PC login pass and it worked?
NOTE i had never loged in to my router settings before and the also note taht the login name for my PC was ryan and my password was my school ID?

ok so today my router screwed up some how so i reseted it and my login and pass were put back to the defult so changed my login pass but now im wondering how my LOGIN name changed???
i have no idea how old this post is but dose any 1 have any idea how my Login was my name???? -- broken89 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted via http://www.mcse.ms ------------------------------------------------------------------------ View this thread: http://www.mcse.ms/message1588178.html
