So I have comcast internet. I have their Motorola modem. For a while now its been having problems connecting, I'd lose my connection. I'd have to manually unplug my router and things would work again. I'd do this everyday. So finally I searched here for a solution.
I saw that comcast modem actually has issues connecting to the linksys router, the solution was to clone the mac address. Which I saw Here : http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/I-need-to-reconfigure-my-WRT54G2-to-work-with-Com...
So I did it. Seems like everything is working fine. I should probably say that theirs two computers in my home. 1. Which is the one I'm using right now. Its a desktop and its connected by Ethernet cord. From my computer to the router. 2. My Brother's laptop which is connected wirelessly to the router. I also have a Xbox360 and a PS3 that are connected with Ethernet cords to the router.
So here's my question(s) Everything is working fine. I'm just a bit confused about some things. Originally to access my routers settings I'd go here : 192.168.1.1.
After cloning my MAC address I was told to not use that one anymore and to go here : 192.168.2.1. Fine. That works. However... When I visit the latter of the two, and it ask for an authorized username & password. My original username and password before cloning the MAC address no longer works. The only thing that works is "admin" and then It lets me gain access to all of the settings. Is that normal?
When I try to access the : 192.168.1.1. It never loads. but the new one 192.168.2.1. does load. So I guess my question is.. How come I don't have to put in a password? Do I need to make a new one? If so.. How?
By the way I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Router Model number - wrt54g2 v1 (firmware is up to date.)
I hope this isnt too confusing. If anything looks weird just point it out, and I'll try to explain what I mean again.
