Hello,
The electricity went out the other night and it messed up our linksys connection. It also made my wireless internet on my laptop no longer secure. I cannot access 192.168.1.1
The main desktop computer in the house has the linksys router connected to it. My dad changed the IP address to 192.168.2.1 and I still cannot access the webpage to secure my wireless internet on either the laptop or the desktop. I do not know what to do since I can't access the 192.168.1.1 webpage to change all the settings to secure it again.

Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you for your time in advance.

There is a reset switch on the back of most routers. You put a pencil into a small hole and hold it down for 30 seconds. That resets the router to the default factory state. You should then be able to set it up with a new SSID and password.

Good Luck
