did I screws up router?

[Eric Oyen]

I must have gotten lucky here. I have been using the same router and same cable modem for about the last 8 years or so. Its an older model Linksys (part of the same knows project).  I am going to hate when either of those devices finally break.

This time nothing seemed to be amiss but now I can't open the ip address of the router. the media center won't connect to the internet (as said before) and so I did a reset  of the router which cleared the password I saved in it so I need to reset the password so the pi will work wirelessly.... gosh, maybe I did that before  and that is why it won't connect. Regardless, why can't I get into the ip address?
