I'm trying to set up a password for my linksys wireless router, but when i put http://192.168.1.1/ in the address bar, and after putting admin as username and password, the site it gives me is blank (there's no text, links, images etc) except the boxes to insert information is still there. The page is blank violet/blue and there is no links I can click or button on the page. How do I fix this so the page comes out right? Thanks in advanced.Accessing http://192.168.1.1 on setting my router password gives me a strange result?
You could reset your router to default by pressing the reboot switch on the router that would put everything back to normal. Which would mean setting the router back up again.Accessing http://192.168.1.1 on setting my router password gives me a strange result?
You can reset your router back to factory defaults. To do this, on the back side of the router you can find a small whole. It's just big enough to get a paper clip, push pin, or tooth pic through. The reset button is recessed in the back of the router and through that hole. Using a paper clip or whatever you can find that will fit through the hole, insert it until it stops. Then give it a little push. If you feel a click and/or the object you are poking with moves and stops, you've found the reset button. HOLD IT IN! After a few seconds, all of the lights on the modem should start to flash. When they stop flashing, release the reset button. If you continue to have the problem that brought you to Yahoo Answers, when the blank page appears and you see the violet and blue, trying typing in these addresses...

These are pretty common pages within the web interface of a Linksys router. I have no explanation why, but perhaps after enter your log on credentials, the router is directed to a page that contains no information or does not exist, but by default, the router creates the color scheme. Having said that, trying the above common URL's, perhaps one of them will load normally and with links so that you can navigate and manually configure.

LinkSys Router Setup
Physical Setup of a LinkSys Router:
Even though the different models of LinkSys routers may differ, the general design for setup is very similar for all of them.
1. Attach the antennas to the router (for wireless routers).
2. Plug the Ethernet cable from your broadband Internet provider’s modem into the port labeled “Internet” or “WAN” on the Router.
(Note: The “Internet” and other ports are usually located at the back of the Router)
3. Plug another Ethernet cable into one of the available ports (usually numbered 1,2,3,4, etc.).
4. Then plug the other end of this cable into an Ethernet port on your PC.
LinkSys Router Configuration
LinkSys routers now ship with a Setup Wizard which is intended to simplfy basic configuration tasks.
We do not recommend the LinkSys Setup Wizard for two reasons:
* The Setup Wizard is not significantly easier than the regular configuration menus
* If you use the Setup Wizard, you will end up learning two interfaces for your LinkSys router instead of just one
The best course of action would be to open your web browser (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc.) and enter the following URL: http://192.168.1.1/
You will now be prompted to enter your Username and Password.
Logging in to a Linksys Router
Leave the Username field blank and enter your Router’s password (the default password is %26quot;admin%26quot;).
Once you are past the login screen, you have access to (and can change) a plethora of configuration options for your router.
Don't be worried by the enormous number and variety of options, your LinkSys router ships with default settings that enable it to work right out of the box in most environments.
From here the configuration options that you choose are largely up to your own personal preference.
If this is a wireless router, we recommend that you consider setting an SSID to identify the router as your own and configuring WEP to encrypt your wireless traffic.Accessing http://192.168.1.1 on setting my router password gives me a strange result?
there is a reset button on the router. some are tiny and require a pin. look on the back of the router for the button
That will reset the router to factory default settings.
Once the router has rebooted; login to the home page and reset your ssid and password
