1) reset to factory defaults a) administration>factory defaults, or b) hold reset button for 30 seconds
2) telnet 192.168.1.1 default username is root, default password is admin
or
2a) go to administration>commands
3) enter these commands:
nvram set et0macaddr=(mac on bottom of router)
nvram set il0macaddr=(mac on bottom of router + 1)
nvram commit
note: replace the mac address in the 1st line with the mac address that's stamped on the bottom of your router... for the 2nd line, increase the last number by 1 but keep the rest the same.
4) exit telnet or exit the admin page and wait 5 minutes
5) reload the config page (192.168.1.1 and look for your mac address. it should be there. if its not, unplug the router, wait a minute, plug it in, wait a few minutes, and reload the page. it should be there.
Also you should note that everytime you do a hard reset on the router (the reset button on the back for 30 seconds) you will have to redo these settings.
