Linksys Support Chat

Chat Transcript 11/15/2005 11:44 AM
Hi, my name is Tricia (19945). How may I help you?
Nikki: is there a setting in the router that only allows one computer to connect to the internet at a time?
Tricia (19945): Yes, that is if you will enable Access Restrictions.
Unknown: i'm not sure what my username and password is for my router anymore since i haven't used it in a while. i can just press the reset button at the back for a long time like 30 secs to reset that right? and then my username will be blank and my password will be "admin" right?
Tricia (19945): Tricia (19945): Im sorry, that's correct.
Nikki: And the address for the router settings is 192.168.1.1 correct?
Nikki: do i have to include http:// ?
Tricia (19945): That's correct.
Nikki: Okay. I'll try that. Because right now, whenever one laptop can get an internet connection, the other one cannot.
Nikki: And then when the other one can, the other one loses it. Does this sound like an Access Restriction related situation?
Tricia (19945): You have to include that.
Tricia (19945): It can be a connection problem. Just make sure that the modem is on the Internet port of the router or it can be that the router is not acting as a DHCP, just a passthrough.
Nikki: So what if it's not acting as a DHCP? How do i fix that?
Tricia (19945): That can be fix by doing a hard reset.
Tricia (19945): That means that you need to press the reset of the router for 30 seconds and reconfigure it.
Nikki: Alright. Thanks a lot.
Nikki: This chat thing is really cool.
Nikki: I hope it works.
Nikki: Pray for me.
