I'm trying to get an old dell laptop up and running to give to someone. I want to test the internet on it but seen unable to connect it wirelessly as I don't have the above. I have a password for the network but it's the above I need it seems. Any research I've done seems to lead to finding the password I already have but not what I'm being asked for.


Anyone know please?


PS This should be in the Lounge. Hopefully it will be moved.

You need an ethernet cable to connect the laptop to the modem. That in itself gives you potential internet access. It'll also enable you to access the modem's browser interface, where you can see/change the wi-fi password to test the wi-fi as well. You'll need the modem's admin login name and password. Their default values (maybe admin and password), and the modem's IP address (maybe 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1) to enter in the browser, are easily findable in the manual, which will probably also be on the net. I'm not sure which password you already have.

    • When mine was stolen I tracked it to Dog Kennel Hill Sainsbury's car park, where it sat for several hours, and then over to a phone shop on Rye Lane in Peckham. Police thought they likely stash them somewhere in the car park until they have a few to drop off. It's literal schoolkids, so even worse in the holidays.
    • Saw the aftermath of another phone theft on east dulwich grove by trio last night. Then half an hour later spotted them biking back to 'work'. Crazy the police can't do anything about this - they are clearly cruising the same streets. 
    • Alas, poor Toadflax!  And gentle Alkanet.
    • Generally wild flowers which are indigenous to the UK are more likely to be supporting more wild life than introduced species, more commonly found in gardens, simply because wild life hasn't had time to adapt to it. Although of course many introductions which flower will be supporting pollinators more generally. (This would also be true of native as opposed to introduced tree and scrub species). And I suspect plants which are flowering over public space, even if rooted on private property, are being removed to stop them setting seed in public space. [Although many might see that as a good thing if the plants have merits of their own].
