You need to log into the router and set or reset the wireless password.

Connect a laptop or PC to the router directly using a standard Ethernet patch cable and use the setup CD or open a browser.

The default IP for a Westell 7500 router is http://192.168.1.1 Type that in the browser's URL bar. You should get a login screen.

You can reconfigure your wireless settings. Be sure to change the default password for security. See page 72 in the manual.

Wireless connections require configuration to prevent anyone with a WiFi in range of your router from connecting to your network. They could do malicious deeds, such as hack into your network, or just leech off of your Internet bandwidth.

Wireless setup is not too difficult, Just follow the instructions in the manual If you're having problems either pay someone to set it up for you or find a knowledgeable friend to configure it. Once the wireless network settings are configured it's a fairly trouble-free system.

Once it's setup you can disconnect the Ethernet cable and use the wireless connection.

Good Luck...
