If you reset a Linksys router will it do anything to the connections its already setup to?

I have a linksys router and i wanted to get internet on my wii. And i forget my password so i want to reset it, but im not sure if it will do anything to the computers that have hooked up to it already. Will it?|||It will disconnect. Also, all your wireless computers will still be using the old encryption key and won't be able to connect to the router. Also, the router will no longer have your Internet Service Provider's gateway IP address and Domain Name Server IP addresses. You'll have to set them all back up again.



All for a Wii?



Here's how to find the encryption key: If the encryption key isn't on a label on your wireless modem or router, the likeliest place to find it is in your router's admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand. If you don't have a router, the following should apply to your modem itself.



Basically, to get into the admin pages, do this:



1. On a computer connected to a wired port on your router (wireless access to the admin pages should be turned off as a security risk), enter the router's local IP address in your browser's address window.ON A LINKSYS, THIS IS PROBABLY 192.168.1.1. THE LOGIN IS USUALLY A BLANK USERNAME AND ADMIN AS THE PASSWORD.

2. Poke around, especially under wireless security, until you find the encryption key. Copy it down EXACTLY. Copy-and-pasting it into a text file (Wordpad is generally best because it's on almost all Windows machines) is even better, as it can be copy-and-pasted from there into whatever needs it. When you see it, you'll understand why this is a good idea.



To find your router鈥檚 IP address in Windows:



3. Click on the Start-%26gt;Run button.

4. In the text box, type



cmd



and press Enter.



5. A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter



ipconfig /all



A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.



Hope that helps.
