so i had my old roommate move out at the beginning of the month, he left his wifi modem here, which i've been using, he also had all of his services cut off at the same time, for some reason, even though i lost all of the features on the digital cable, the internet never got effected... now the internet doesn't work, and i'm sitting in my basement with nothing to do...
the new roommates moved in, and gave me the password to their wifi when they first moved in, but because i had the other wifi modem still working i never used it... my new roommates and i never see eachother, literally, we work opposite schedules, and they are rarely home anyways, so it's virtually impossible for me to just ask them for it again... is there any way that you guys know, that i can obtain the password through the thing? i have access to it, i was told a soft reset might work, but i don't really know how to access the system menu after that, and from what i can tell on the internet, it looks like it won't display the current password, only allow me to enter a new one, or it will revert to the current settings after 5 minutes...
all of the other routers and modems i've used have been simple, go plug a network cable into the router and into your laptop, go to 192.168.1.254 or such, enter "admin/password" and go look up your current password... this thing though doesn't even have a port to plug my laptop into... there's one network plug for the modem, 1 usb for a printer, and 1 3.5mm headphone jack for music... that's it!
i have debated downloading software to sniff out the password but that seems very complicated...
