Renewing the IP address using a Linksys router
If you've got more than one
computer connected * to the Internet
using DSL or wireless, chances are you're using a Linksys
router. This also means that your PCs IP address will fall
into the 192.168.1.x range. If this is the case, you need to
renew your broadband, or "WAN" IP address using the
following instructions:
- Open up Internet Explorer
and type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar.
- When prompted, enter your
username and password and click OK. To determine your
username and password, read through the Fast Start guide
that comes with your Linksys router. The default username
and password are both admin. It is recommended that you
change the defaults for security purposes and don't
forget to remember what you changed them to.
- Once you've logged
in, click on the Status tab at the top of the web page.
- When the Status
page comes up scroll down and click DHCP Release button.
Once the WAN IP address goes to 0.0.0.0, click the DHCP
Renew button to obtain a new IP address.
 
* If you have multiple
computers connected to the Internet there is an additional
charge. Please contact our office for current rates.
