    hi guys i think my router was hacked or something cause my ip has changed

    maybe linkseys change my router ip


    i tried using my old one to access my router but it didnt work

    but the new one opened my router setting page like my old ip use to do well i mean the little box came up asking for my password before i could go to the settings

    but i didnt put my password in and just closed the page you know just in case somebody is trying to get my information

    What's your question? If you're accessing a reset router, it should be:

    admin

    leave password empty, press enter key. I don't think it's hacked. It may be reset by a short power blackout or overloaded by heavy traffic. It happens here quite a bit, only I just have to power off & on.

    Also, look up your router manual for how to reset it. There's a hole in the front/back that can be pressed by a paper clip.

    i reset my router about 4 months ago cause one of the linksys tech guys said to do it cause he couldnt get into my account to help me

    after the reset everything went back to default and he talked me through upgrading my firmware

    never told me everything would go back to default when ui reset though

    after the upgrade i redid my settings and changed my router name and password ect and it gave me a new router ip

    anyway i was just wondering why i have a new router ip

    i had my old ip number for about four months now so why do i have a new one now
