URGENT! Linksys router secondary port? HELP!

Killa_ken · 27 Jul 2007 at 00:52

Hi everybody

basically I stupidly forwarded port 80 to my storage device, so basically when ever i try to connect to the router 192.168.1.1 it takes me to my storage login. How on earth do i get back to the actual routers admin section?

is there a secondary port on my router to connect to?

its a linksys WRT54G3G

Help would be most apreicated!

No. Is there not a reset pin on there that you can use to reset it to factory defaults?

Try taking out the storage device, the router may detect that it's no longer there and stop redirecting.
If that doesn't work do a factory reset by pushing in the pin (normally on the back with the ethernet ports) and holing it there for a few seconds like phemo suggested, a paper clip normally works well!

Hard reset -

-Hold pin in for 30 seconds whilst unit is powered on

-Unplug power still holding the power for another 30 seconds

-Then put the power in still holding the pin for 30 seconds

1 min 30 secs in total - Thats what Linksys support explained was the correct way to reset the routers?

If you've only forwarded the port, it should work fine from within the network...
