Hi

We are using a Linksys WAP54G as a WAP.

To enter the web interface, there doesn't seem to be a way to specify a
username - it is blank - although you can set the password.

I'm sure it's very simple, but does anyone know how to set a username?!

Thx

You probably can't - on several simple routers the admin username is
hardcoded.

The only real reason to enter a username would be if the product is
smart enough to maintain multiple users with different associated
passwords and different access rights, which ain't the case with low end
products. Just use the password and forget about the pointless
username.
