Well, that's a wired router, so that makes things a lot easier.

First off, look up the standard login information. Looks like "192.168.1.1" and something like "root:admin" or "admin:admin". Your instruction manual should have this stuff, or there should be a sticker on the thing.

Second, disconnect the internet cable.

Third, type in "192.168.1.1" in your browser and enter the login stuff. Visit all the configuration pages and write down all the entries. You could have PPoE information in there from your university, DNS entries.

Next, use the hard reset switch. You'll probably need a pencil. Sometimes routers will just get some funky "deny" policy setup for your system and they need a hard-reset to clear it out.

Then open up a web browser and type in "192.168.1.1". Use the login, password.



From there, it gets a bit hairy. The university probably has their own settings, and when you go somewhere else, you may have to revert back to an "default" config.
