To make changes in the configuration of your router, you first need to log into it.
The default settings of a wrt54g are
ip address: 192.168.1.1
username: (leave the username empty)
password: admin
Open a browser (internet Explorer or Firefox)
In the address bar you type the ip address of the wrt54g.
So, if your home page is http://www.Google.com, you change the http://www.google.com into 192.168.1.1
if you have made changes to the ip address of your wrt54g and you can't remember it, you can find it by
1. opening a command prompt,
do not know how to this ? This is how:
In Windows XP:go to Start, Run,type in cmd in the box that opens and hit enter
In Windows Vista:Press the windows key or go to StartSelect all programs
Select accessories
Select command prompt
In Windows 7:Press the windows key or go to StartSelect all programs
Select accessories
Select command prompt
2. typing in ipconfig /all
3. pressing ENTER
4. scrolling up to look for your default gateway for the
wireless network connection if you are connected wirelessly to your wrt54g
wired network connection if you are connected with a network cable to your wrt54g
if you have made changes to the username and password combination and you can't remember them, you need to reset your wrt54g, by keeping the small reset button pressed for 20 s. You will need to start configuring the wrt54g right from the beginning again.
The WRT54G just means that is the model number of router that you have. It's obviously created by Linksys, but different model numbers separate routers.

The Linksys wireless router WRT54G has several reviews online. These are basically there to inform people of the author's opinion of the product. The author of a review should be someone who is not in any way affiliated with the manufacturer of the product. Otherwise, this can form some bias on the part of the reviewer.
You can purchase a Linksys WRT54G wireless router from your local retail stores electronics section. You can also purchase one online at websites such as Amazon, Sears, and eBay.
Check to see if your router has a 'reset' button. This button usually resets the router to the default factory configuration. Of course, it is best to have the user's manual when doing this so you know how to reconfigure the router.
From what I have found on amazon it can range from $76.00 all the way to $159.00. But I'm sure you can go on other websites such as eBay or craigslist and find cheaper.
Turning off the router will not mess up the settings on the router. When you configure the router, it sames the information in memory. Some routers you must reset manually. Your configuration can be modified, but what ever settings you make are stored. Turn it off as much as you like. Sometimes if things get slow, turning the router off and restarting it will clean up some problems because it clears the cashe.
WRT54G is a nice 4 port wireless router. Been around for years. You can either find them at Walmart, or online, maybe Ebay. They do run about $50.00 but you can never go wrong with Linksys. They are a division of "Cisco" systems, the leader in router technology.
