BleepingComputer.com: Router problem

Hello everyone,i wonder if anyone can direct me to a good(easily understable) thread/guide to router problems?

I decided i wanted to secure my wireless connection(for obvious reasons)and have been trying in vain to access my routers settings.

I've been following some guides i've found off the internet but to no avail..it's starting to get a little annoying now

First i've reset the router to factory settings,used the recommended 192.168.0.254 default IP,disabled firewall and anti virus programs,tried other default IPs such as 192.168.0. 1 and countless other variations but nothing works

Also i tried the cmd ip config command and tried entering using the gateway IP address.Nothing!

I've been in connection settings>properties>internet protocol(TCP/IP)>properties and tried changing the PCs IP to default and Subnet to default also......still no joy

Any good guides or suggestions you could recommend would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
Mariska

What brand of router is it?

Hi Broni! it's a Telewell TW-EA510 ADSL
Just like to add i've seen the pdf manual for the router on the web but it might as well be in a foreign language,i would class myself as an intermediate user,but that guide just well,makes my head want to explode,..cheers

JUdging form this manual: http://www.pdfdownload.org/pdf2html/pdf2ht...&images=yes the default address should be 192.168.7.1

Hi Broni,thanks for your help!

This is the manual for my router http://www.telewell.fi/vanha/english/pdf_t...sio3_manual.pdf
the default should be 192.168.0.254

Just tried that one you suggested but it didn't work either

Do they have any 800 number to call. Usually, routers manufacturers have free tech support.
This is pretty rare model, at least here in US.

Can't find one......it.s a pretty common and reliable router here in northern europe..works perfectly except for aforementioned problem.

mariska.

It looks like Finnish product.
Here is their page with contact info: http://www.telewell.fi/en/index.php?node_id=16868

Thanks for that......but it looks like customer support only helps with new installations,but i will give it a try...

Let me know...

Ok,but i won't be able to phone till tomorrow as it's past customer supports bedtime.9.00pm here
thankyou and goodnight/afternoon/morning.

No problem

Check your proxy settings in IE, FireFox, etc.
