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.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
