I have a Zonet ZSR1134WE broadband router and I need to change the password. I was wondering if you could give me an idea of what I need to do to do so.
The Zonet Router ZSR1134 WE User Manual
If you don't already have a copy, you can download a PDF version of your Zonet router's user manual at Zonetusa.com. According to the manual, you can adjust your router's settings by using its Web-based configuration utility which is accessible via Internet Explorer. Open Internet Explorer and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar. You'll be prompted to enter a user name and password. By default, the user name and password are both "guest" (without the quotation marks). If you've never changed these, then enter "guest" in both fields. Note, this password information is for accessing the router's configuration utility, not necessarily for network access.
Setting the Router's Configuration Utility Password

To change the password for managing the router's configuration utility, you'll need to log into the configuration utility and find the System Tools section. From there, you'll need to find System Management followed by Password Setup. Enter a user name and password and then confirm your choice.
Setting the Wireless Networking Password
Once logged in, you can then change the router's wireless security settings. Instead of the term "password," the user's manual tends to use the term "key." You'll need to first select an encryption method such as WEP (Wired Equivalency Privacy) or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). WPA is generally preferred. Assuming this is for a personal network and you have selected WPA, you'll need to choose the WPA Authentication Mode of Personal (Pre-Shared Key). From there, you can choose to use a "passphrase" format which is a fancy way of saying a password. Enter your desired passphrase in the Pre-Shared Key field and save your settings.
Once you've changed the password, your computers will need to be set to access the network using that passphrase. Apparently this router has a feature for "push button configuration." However, the manual didn't explain how to use it very well. If you only have a few computers, it's easy to enter the passphrase when prompted and click the "remember" option so that the computer remembers it.
