Windows 10: Delete old router

Hi there, BT have just installed a new router for me and taken away the old one. My pc is connected to the new router but it is still trying to connect to the old router that isn't there any more causing me to have problems with signal dropping. Can anyone tell me how to delete my old router from the pop up list on the right bottom hand corner of the screen. I have looked on various internet sites and they all say go to "manage your internet" but I don't have that option on mine.

:)

 

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".

Check in the router settings to see if the old PC is listed and, if so, disable or delete the device there.

Hi Sue,

Do you mean the old router is still listed on your PC as well as the new one?

If not please explain what you are seeing on your PC . . .
