    nope. just setup, advanced, tools, status..

    Dante,

    thanks for such a quick reply, but I can't see your screenshots, and
    also I've been logged into the modem interface (oops! its my first time
    doing anything like this). I am unable to log into the router
    interface, it seems like it should be at 192.168.1.1

    but when I type this in I get a page load timeout error..

  • jessika25 May 20, 2009

    ok so now i'm into the router interface!
    is it the WPA Pre shared key that I want to change?

  • jessika25 May 20, 2009

    thanks for your help everyone - i'm in!

I cannot reconnect with my ASUS WL-520GC Router after blocking a mac address. While it was reconfiguring the new setting the connection was disconnected before it was finished. Now it has stopped work
You will need to do a "hard reset" which usually requires you to hold in the reset button (30 sec) as you turn on the device.

They always warn against changing settings over the wireless for exactly this reason.

WL-520GC
You need to enter the Router's Menu. Its web Based you can type http://192.168.1.1 from your web browser to get into your Router's Menu. It might come up with Username and password request put "admin" for both of them (its default).Since the Menu is very easy to understand you will find all settings including security that you needed. Make sure your laptop had DHCP enabled and Router connected to computer.

Good Luck
