He has no browser because he cannot access the internet. I tried to access it from my computer by typing in the ip address ( is this the URL you are talking about?) and they want a password. He of course does not remember it. Any way to get around this?

Sorry I didn't just type out the address, which is 192.168.1.1; which must be done in his browser on his computer. The connection between his router and his pc is what matters to read this page. Try it... and if he gets a log in box... try leaving the user name *blank* and type "admin" for his password. That should display the settings you need to know/change.

Is his ISP cable or DSL? That will make a difference in his settings.

The link that Nass gave you will probably answer a lot of your questions. As s/he said, return if you can't work it out. :)

Type the URL given below, in his browser's address bar [IE,
Mozilla or whatever he is using].

The ISP is right! They are not the ones who provide the wireless
Linksys router. Your son need to re-establish the wireless link
between the Linksys router and his new USB adapter. From your
computer, get your son to access the routers internal web page (ex:
http://192.168.1.1) and re-configure the wireless section, including
the WEP/WAP security.

My son has connected a Lynksys router to my computer. It has all worked
well, until he blew his power supply, and also got a new operating system.
This power supply blew his adapter board so he purchased a wireless USB
adapter. Still cannot get on the internet. We called our ISP and they said
it was not a problem on their end. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks much.
