[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 352002, member: 24098"] Like I mentioned previously, you first need to either boot up your already connected machine (you did mention that you have another already connected) or connect your Mac directly to the router via an Ethernet connection. Once you do that, the process you take to log into your router will vary depending on the model. Usually, you open a web browser, type 192.168.0.1 (or 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.0.100, again depending on the model). You will be prompted for your router's configuration username and password, typically the username is admin and the password will either be 'admin' or 'password' - again, your manual details this. Then you go into the wireless security configuration page and change the password for WPA security. There's no way to know how many characters because this is typically obscured. If all else fails, you can hard reset the router by pressing and holding the reset button on the back of the unit for 30 seconds after plugging it in. Of course, after doing that, you'll need to refer back to your manual to determine how to configure it properly again. [/QUOTE]
