If you're having trouble reaching the internet, it may be necessary to reset your Linksys router. This is one of the most common troubleshooting steps—and something I always do before calling tech support.
To reset your Linksys device, you'll need to locate the reset button. The exact location of the button will vary between devices.
The reset button is usually found on the back of the router. It's often very small and sometimes labeled with the word Reset.
If you still can't find it, check online for a manual for your exact router model. These include diagrams that label each component.
Press the Reset button and hold it for at least 10 seconds. This will initiate the factory reset on your Linksys router. A flashing Power LED means the reset is working.
If the device doesn't reset, you may need to hold the Reset button for a longer time. Older Linksys routers require the Reset button to be pressed for at least 30 seconds.
A factory reset will restore the default administrator login credentials. To log in, you will need to use this username and password:
username: admin

Odin (182)There is a collective nostalgia about certain portions of the 1980s; that decade held a strange middle ground between the fast-paced era of high Internet technology, and the simpler, grittier ages that came before. A sense of dystopia arose on the horizon, as neoliberal capitalism joined forces with rugged individualism beneath the banner of the Cold War. One of the shining lights of the 1980s is the romantic tinge to so much of the media—a certain glamour that sparkled on the silver screen. It was as if the cinematography took tips from the Golden Age of Hollywood, when the bright lights made the actors, already larger than life, burst from the screen like cultural gods. Within the genre of romance movies from the 1980s, a great range also existed. From the incredibly self-serious, to the profoundly silly, we saw an incredible array of exploration into the nature of love and lust. Some of the great early films focused on non-hetero relationships also started being made, showcasing LGBTQ+ relationships in a different way, taking what had once been more avant-garde (more “artsy”) and allowing it to be seen by more mainstream crowds.
