I had the same problem and this is what I did: Go to "Start" then click "Run" in the box write "cmd", when the black winows open write "ipconfig" the ip that you need is the "Default Gateway", in my case was 192.168.15.1
the user name is generally admin
password is either usually blank or admin
at the worst check your manual for these settings
If someone else has played around with the router and has set a password just reset the router using a pin or whatever at the reset switch
Remember at the worst you can always reset the router back to factory defaults and start over
5) Lastly sometimes at some points internet explorer ( i.e.) will not let you
get to the control panel. Try an alternate browser such as firefox
i have the same problem, but something that is really bothering me is that i can't open ipconfig. When i go to start --> run, i type ipconfig and press enter, and then in a blink of an eye the window just closed by it self. It does the same every time i try it. This problem never hapened on my PC before. Can someone help me with that?

Solution
Just did a new build. Installed XP, went to update the router and, as the instructions suggest, typed "192.168.1.1" into IE. Instead of getting the setup interface, it Googles "192.168.1.1" instead. The first link it suggests is to this thread.
I'm guessing this is what you did, too.
So I try again, this time typing in "http://192.168.1.1/". Success!
I think without the http, the browser follows different protocols. V. annoying though.
If you still can not get access to 198.168.1.1, then check you Proxy Network settings.
Many ISP,s use proxy networks, andf it messes up the access to local IP address.
Just go to tools in the IE menu, then Internet options, then the connections TAB, then at the bottom, click on LAN Settings.
If you have the Proxy network box ticked, then that is your problem. Unclick this box (windows will rember the setting for when you want to tick it again) then accept the changes and access your router.
REMEMBER TO GO BACK AND RE TICK THE PROXY NETWRK BOX WHEN YOU ARE DONE!!!!

connecting to Linksys router
Should anyone have this problem, you can go to the Linksys site and download a free wizard that walks you through the set-up process. The operating system on my laptop had to be reinstalled last week and in the process, I lost the ability to use the router. The set-up wizard reestablished my router capabilities, and all is well again with the use of my router.

Re: 192.168.1.1 password
All of a sudden when I try to get into 192.168.1.1 the password I have always used won't let me in. Does anybody know why this happened or what I can do to fix it so I can get into 192.168.1.1?
well due to a recent power loss i just fixed the same problem, my router had somehow got reset. the fix for me was i had to leave the user name blank and the default password is "admin". fired right up for me

I type 'ipconfig' on the dos prompt and the IP is indeed 192.168.1.1. I ping that ip aswell and get four replies.Now, turning on/off the router but I still get a 'page cannot be found' error in the browser.
Can somebody plz help this is really irratating me and I would like to get on the internet.
Thanks for any help.
ive been having this problem to, using internet explorer i could not access 192.168.1.1 , i downloaded the latest firmware from linksys and saved it by luck, then i held down my rest button for 30 seconds. i typed in 192.168.1.1 and it poped up manage mode asking for a firmware update and allowed me to browse for the version i just happened to have and it installed it. i still couldn't access 192.168.1.1 using internet explorer however when i tried firefox the user name/password screen came up. i left the user name blank and put "admin" for the password and gained access. however i still do not have access to the internet thus far. dont know if this will help but theres the problems and solutions ive found so far.
