Default I messed up my router. Help!

I'm trying to get my Wifi to work on my nintendo DS. The problem was connecting to other players, so I tried to fix it by altering my wireless router. I used to be able to connect to the internet wirelessly, but I've messed it up somehow.

Now I can't even get to my router's website. I remember changing something about the access point, making it non-firewalled or something like that. Now I can't connect at all.

The IP address has changed on the command prompt and that one won't work either. It says something in the command prompt about a "lease" on the IP address I guess. It ends tomorrow. Is there any hope that my router will go back to normal and I'll be able to go back to its website then? I have a Belkin N Wireless Router by the way if that helps at all.

Default Re: I messed up my router. Help!

Have you tried the factory reset trick, by poking a paper clip into the hole on the back of the router. This resets it to the default settings.

It will tell you in the Belkin manual, what the IP Address is to put into the browser to access the routers control pane. It is something like this 192.168.2.1 or 10.1.1.1 depending on the model.

Once in the control panel set your ISP's password /username up, so you can get back onto the net.

If all else fails you may have to join the queue on the Belkin support line...
