How to Reset an IP on a Linksys

Configure your Linksys router IP.

Your Linksys router provides a central connection for each wireless and hardwired computer on the network. Each Linksys router requires an IP address, so it can be found by computers on the network. Your computers send communication packets on the network, which are sent to the recipient by the router. The Linksys router console provides you with an easy-to-use console where you can specify the router's IP address.

Instructions

1. Open your web browser. Enter the IP address for your Linksys in text box. The default IP address for your Linksys is 192.168.1.1.

2. Enter the password for your Linksys router console. The default password is "admin," and no user name is supplied. This opens the main Linksys console.

3. Click the "Setup" link at the top of your console screen. This screen contains all the basic configurations for your Linksys including its name, IP address and the timezone settings.

4. Enter a new IP address in the text box labeled "Local IP Address." Click the "Save Settings" button. The router reboots. You can check the new settings by opening a new web browser window, entering the new IP address into the text box and logging into the console. This verifies that the reset IP address change has taken effect.
