seconds and try accessing the confguration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a diferent computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the
factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a paperclip
to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30
seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the
password box empty.

3. Why cant I connect to certain sites or send and receive e-mails when connecting through my router?
If you are having a problem sending or receiving e-mail, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail,
we suggest lowering the MTU in increments of ten (e.g. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).
Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.
To fnd the proper MTU Size, youll have to do a special ping of the destination youre trying to go to. A destination could be
another computer, or a URL.
Click on Start and then click Run.
