The password must be 8 characters long. so the the passwords wont work. They are all 'admin' and this wont work. Any other ideas?

imanewbe,
Can you log in to your wireless router?
How to login to your wireless router
Try using these Recommended Wireless Router Settings, I use channel 11. Paswords MUST be at least 13 characters long.
