   Nope.  Stored in the router.  You'll actually have to CONNECT to the   
   router to modify its configuration (after a reset *if* needed since,   
   after all, you claimed to have discarded the old one and bought a new   
   router a couple weeks ago).

   It's not Microsoft's job to configure routers.

   Again?  So are you going to buy a 2nd new router and a 3rd and so on   
   trying to figure out how to RTFM, connect to the router, and use the   
   default login?

   So you claimed to have gotten a new router back on Feb 9 because you   
   couldn't be bothered to reset your old one and here you are again   
   claiming you can't figure out how to reset the new router (which   
   probably doesn't need to be reset since you probably haven't changed it   
   from the factory-time defaults yet).   
      
   How can it be 5 years since you installed a router when you did it just   
   2 weeks ago?   
      
   So the "new" router didn't come with any instructions (paper or disc)?
