Are you able to access the router settings with the log in "admin"?
I can not access the router setings. My husband and I went to Office Depot yesterday, where we purchased the router and the technician said the password XXXXX not be accessedl.
I am sorry for the difficulty. All routers have the ability to view or change the password. We can try again if you like.Randy41038.553759838
