I recently bought a new linksys wrt160n router and tried to set it up. The installation disk did not work(error 322). When I tied to set it up manually I google some information on it and was told that the default password is admin. Every time I tried putting admin it says "site says modem secure". When I got frustrated and typed in password as the password and admin as the user name, it then led me to "Westel Wirespeed Dual Connect". Now every time I type in 192.168.1.1 on the address bar(I checked on command prompt this is my default IP address)I go to the Westel page. What can I do to get into the linksys administration page and get rid of my connection to Westel? I've reset the router multiple times and had no luck.

leave the username blank and enter "admin" for the password.

I can't do what you suggested as of right now. It's a complicated situation. Every time I use 192.168.1.1, I automatically go to the Wirespeed Dual Connect page by Westel. I have tried before using only admin and leaving the user name blank and I usually have the same screen pop up saying "Modem Secure". I should have mentioned in the description that I type in (Username:admin, Password:password) in 192.168.1.1 but I mistakenly signed up for Westel instead of linksys thinking the Westel Wirespeed Dual Connect page was the Linksys administration page. I need a way to get rid of my connection to Westel because I don't have Westel routers.

Do an ipconfig /all from the command line and get your default gateway. Thats your router IP.

My IP address is 192.168.1.47 but when I type it on a web address I get a page load error. My default gateway is the one that happens to be 192.168.1.1. Also for some reason, it says Dhcp enabled.....:No. Basically, I just need to get 192.168.1.1 to not automatically go to the Westel page( I have linksys), then get my router manually set up.

how is everything wired up?

do you have your modem connected to the wall jack, then the modem connected to the router, then the router plugged into the computer?

[olliejump]

As of right now I have my modem connected to the wall jack only. Because my router is not setup, me hooking the router to my modem will not give me internet on my home computer or laptop.

[dsenette]

well that's why none of this is working.

you have to be connected to the router to to a computer to be able to set it up.

hook the ethernet port from the modem to the router's WAN port then hook your computer to the router via ethernet and you'll be able to connect to the router to set it up.

why type of internet connection do you have? cable or DSL?

[olliejump]

basic Verizon DSL

Also I just realized that my modem box is a Westel model. That may have to do with my problem of 192.168.1.1 always leading me to the Westel WireSpeed Dual Connect page. I used the default ip gateway when only my modem was hooked up. SO I also need help with getting rid of that page connection.

[dsenette]

you're getting to the modem's setup page because your computer is connected directly to the modem. you need to have your computer connected to the router to be able to configure it.

have you gone to the verizon support page to see how they suggest you configure your network for use with a router? some ISPs (especially DSL setups) require you to make setting changes on the modem before a router will work

[olliejump]

Yes. Thanks for the suggestion. They gave me a method to fix the problem. It's solved.
