I need to change it so it isn't blocking Wi-Fi. How can I do this?
Answer:
Some routers have the security codes fixed and these are normally displayed on the outside of the router.
Other routers allow the user to define or change the Service Set IDentifier (SSID) which is your wireless network name and of course the type of security such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2).
To change any of your router settings, first of all you need access to the router’s control panel by browsing to the router’s IP address. Most routers will have the IP address displayed somewhere on the outside of the box. If not you will need to read your documentation or contact the manufacturer for these details. Alternatively try obtaining your routers IP address from your computer by going to Start > Run – now type in ‘cmd’ without the quotes (hit enter) at the black DOS screen type ‘ipconfig /all’ again without the quotes. The address shown against Default Gateway will be the IP address of your router.
Now open your browser and type in http://192.168.2.1 - this address is just an example and may not be the address of your particular router.
If you get the IP address correct you will be presented with a screen asking for UserName and Password. Again you need both of these before you can enter the routers heart.
Once you are inside, the world is your oyster. You should be able to change details regarding your SSID, how many wireless connections can be made (IP range) and of course your security settings.
If you have changed either your UserName or your Password and have forgotten or lost these details, your router can be returned to its factory default condition by pressing the reset button. This button is normally recessed to prevent any accidental reset so you will need to press this button by using a straightened paperclip or something similar.

Answer:
in your web browser, go to http://192.168.1.1
Answer:
usually go to your Web browser, and type in the address field
http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1
this address is your Router address, so that u can have access to the router. they will ask for log in and password
the default (if you havent change any) the log-in name will be "admin" and the password will be BLANK or "admin"
so when you get inside, look for WIFI / Wireless/ W-Lan / Security, in side find and uncheck any WEP boxes. and u will able to free your WIFI to be unblocked…
Cheers..
feel free to ask more
Answer:
For one thing, you need to check your owners manual to see what address you need to type in your browser to access the router. Each manufacturer uses a different address. Secondly, what do you mean it's "blocking Wi-Fi"?
Answer:
Good tutorial WhoDares. Couple things to add.
Most routers are accessed like stated here. In a browser window, type in 192.168.1.1 . Depending on the router manufacturer, the default passwords vary. DLink is usually admin for login and blank for password. LinkSys if I remember is admin for login and admin for pass. these are the defaults set at the factory. If they have ever been changed, you need the correct ones. If you do not have them, there should be a small hole on the back marked "reset". Stick a pin, pen, something small in there press that button and hold it in for about 10 seconds. This would reset all settings to default as it would come from the factory. Again, this varies from router to router. If you have to do this, I strongly suggest checking your manufacturers website. As pressing this in too long may delete ALL settings and require a reload of the software (firmware) within the router.
