Hello !

I have a new wireless connection with PrimeTel and I try to connect to the router (to remove the WPA protection) at http://192.168.2.1 but I don't know the login/password to log in and this is not the default one ! I suppose PrimeTel set the same login/password on each of its router and perhaps they won't give these to their customers ? Is there anyone who know these ?

I hope you will be able to help me and thank you in advance !

Hello sebaf,

I believe you should give PrimeTel customer support a try first.

What is the reason that you want to disable WPA?

Removing the WPA might not be a good idea, are you planning on offering a free for all wifi network to anybody else in the immediate area? Securing your wifi is the same as locking your house or your car. If you are having connectivity issues here, post the problem and someone will try to help you out.

He might like me simply have clients that dont support WPA. I have an old USB WiFi stick that does WEP only. Still works so why change it.

Thanks for your response.
In fact I would like to remove the WPA protection because one of my roomate can't access to the Internet with the WPA protection. Moreover, I think this protection makes the network slow and I would prefer the WEP protection (although I know WPA is a better protection).
I ever asked PrimeTel but they told me that I CAN'T do this with their router. It's forbidden... I rent them a router and I can't change the protection ! It's a bit special ! When I rent a car, they don't tell me that I can't change the gear...

Thanks in advance if you have an idea (of course I could buy an other router but I don't really want to spend more money.)
