You don't need the install disk to configure. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and then for username and password type admin for both. You can now configure your Linksys router

Just a quick hint: just type admin for password and leave username blank.

Actually Linksys wireless routers don't have drivers, they have firmwares.

One thing about that or any router though: Change the password immediately. Leaving a default password, especially on a wireless router, leaves it open for anyone to mess with. Oh, yeah, also be sure to tighten up the security as much as possible, such as allowing only your computer's MAC to connect.

-Do you believe you own your computer and shouldn't be told what you can run and do? Then say *NO* to Microsoft Vista!
-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
