i hav a wgr614 router. i just downloaded the firmware and wanted to change the default password and username from admin and password to something else. is it possible thru hex edit or anything? i tried to see if it existed in the firmware file, but it didnt.

you have to go into the interface and change it there, although I think you have to leave the default user and you can only change the password.

That is as far as I know, but if there is another way, I willing to learn.

um... google

also, choose your product off the following list and see if any of the support docs help

Good luck,

for my after i log in to the router there is an option to change the password, no user name change

indeed - all the routers I've seen have the option to change it in the web management system bit of the routers config, so it's bound to be there somewhere

you can also re name your wireless network and then disable your ssid

With your wi-fi client, set it to log onto your ssid name. This way you're not broadcasting your open network to everyone.

whoops - forgot to mention that lol

nice one svasutin
