I had an SBG6580-2 router/wifi in service for 2-3 years, until this week. Had a power outage, and the router would not reconnect to Xfinity service (for a couple of days). Checked with neighbors--they had service (with Xfinity supplied router). Bought a new router/wifi unit (SBG10) and attempted, for the rest of the day, to install it, without success. Next day I reset the unit and my computer was able to access the WiFi service. However, the computer wold not recognize my wireless printer (printer off-line), and my ROKU TV, nor other ROKU access devices, could not access the WiFi service..
That’s where I am now.
Other questions: When I enter the indicated IP address (192.168.0.1), I get a page with User Name - admin, and Password -blank, and an “Apply” button., An I supposed to enter a user name and password of my own, or just use “admin” and “password”? I’ve tried both ways and still can’t get my TV/devices connected. Can I (should I) reset my router?wifi to “factory settings” and start over. If I do that, what can I expect to have to do?.
