Comment on How do I make a PCI slot on my desktop to install Linksys Wireless G PCI Adapter? by Imma M

PCI slots are actually inside your computer. It’s quite easy to do this. Look at the back of your PC. See all the ports there (modem, monitor, etc)? Each of those is on a card similar to the one you purchased.

–BEFORE DOING ANYTHING TURN OFF THE COMPUTER–

To do this you are going to have to remove the access panel on your PC. It should just be a couple of screws. Once that is off, you will have to look in and you will see where the other things you looked at earlier are, and there should be an empty slot or 2 there that your new card will fit.

Towards the back of that slot on the PC itself there will be a cover plate that needs to be removed where your antenna will go through the case. It will have one screw in the top of it. remove that plate, and slide your adapter into the slot. then return that screw to the hole to hold it securely in place. No need to make it too tight, just snug.

replace your cover and you are ready to set up the software.

If you feel the least bit uncertain about any of that take it to best buy or somewhere and they can do it for you….for a fee of course.

if you have already tried all that and really do have no more open, you could always remove your modem card and plug it in there as long as all that’s on it is the modem. You won’t be using that anyway.

Did you try without using a username? If so then the router password has changed and you may have to do a hard reset to start all over.
You can reset to factory defaults by pressing and holding the "RESET" button down for about 30 Seconds, don’t just press and release, hold it down! Unit has to be ON for the reset to work.
Then leave the username blank and use admin as the password!

do a hard reset of the router and set up the security again – write down the password this time

to do a hard reset, hold down the reset button on the back of the device for about 20 seconds.

good luck!

If you are talking about the administrator’s password, then no, it will not affect your other systems. However, you are talking about the password you use for wireless connections, then it will affect all systems that connect through wireless methods.

The best answer is the Linksys site:www.linksys.com. They have step by step tutorials that wll get you going.

Be sure to set a new password, and to enable encryption. Also, use the MAC filter. The site will tell you what these are.
