Onnect your router to computer with ethernet cable then you can access it with following default link.
http://192.168.2.1
or
http://192.168.15.1
If you are not able to access it with above ip then check your computers ip address gateway ip is your router ip try with it.
Then it ask for user name and password.
Type user as "admin" and password as "admin" or "password" or blank.
Then you can see configuration page of router.
Click on wireless settings enable wireless then enable WEP Security then add WEP code .It is your password to connect wi fi.Then save settings and restart router.
Then you can connect your wi fi network with that code.
If you want to RESET your router access password then press RESET button for 10 seconds it is in back side of router.Then all settings defaults.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.
You have to be careful how and when you press the reset button.
Make sure that you have the reset button and not another one. Sometimes, there are two buttons.
Unplug the router for 15 seconds. Count or watch the clock!
Press the button (with a paper clip if necessary).
With the button pressed, plug in the router.
Keep holding the button.
Wait for 15 seconds. Once again count or watch the clock!
That should do it. If 15 seconds does not work, try 30 seconds.
Also, the lights should blink or otherwise change when the full reset happens.
I hope that works. If not, we can look at the manual. I hope this helps.
