First off, I am stunned that you havent secured your router management.. Well, that's an assumption on my part. Your username is admin, and your password will be __________ Just google your router model number.If you haven't secured your router, an example could be use admin and password admin, Or it could be user admin and password is <nothing> Note carefully, this is not for all routers. Some might be username <blank> and password admin, some might be admin admin. Google is your friend and will tell all
In this Linksys help page, the username is blank and the password is admin
Linksys Official Support - How to access the router’s web-based setup page
Also, since you cannot access the router from your bad computer, use one of your other devices. On the bad computer get your IP address and MAC address and write it down. When you go to your other machine ( I have six machine in my house ) just do the 192.168.1.1 and when you are able to access the router management web page..
Hold on a sec, I'm new to the forum, I normally hang out at windowsbbs.com.. Let's see if I can insert a picture of my router --- EA4500
Cool, in my router mgmt. you can see all the devices connected to my router. Notice, that the IP addresses that the router has handed out to each device is specified. On the top is the reserved list, and what that means is I dont' want those devices asking the router for a leased IP address. One is my Win 2008 server and the other is a network attached storage. the bottom part are devices that get IP addresses from the router and the lease time, is, I think, one week. The bottom line is my username was admin, and the password was what I configured.. then go to dhcp reservations, or Local , or words to that effect and see if your bad device is in there
