hey all! as the title brings out, every time i try to access the routers config (user name: xxxx password:xxxx) page it "resets" the connection. i'm guessing that it has something to do with a security feature built into the router itself to disallow logins from untrusted addresses or whatnot. any idea how i can get through to the config page without resetting the router. this is a wireless connection. ive done a ton of research on this. but nothing found. simply put, ive been presented a challenge and i would like to learn how to overcome this obstacle for future reference. thanks!!

What is the router brand and type? Usually you type in the router's IP (can be found on the back of the router or on the bottom of it) in the address field of your browser and it displays a login page. Enter credentials there and if wrong, it does nothing. Else it lets you in.

thanks for responding. im not sure what model router it is, as it is not visible to me. but, i can connect to it and run a command prompt ipconfig and get the default gateway/ip and attempt to connect to it and access the config page. But when i punch the ip in the address bar it loads and will popup with a "connection reset" page... no allowing me to connect to its config.

Check the HTTP header(s) for clues of software/version. Often they say something like "Powered by ROUTERBRAND web UI" or some shit. Further more, you can do a port scan to gain more intel, perhaps it got a telnet or ssh configuration as well. Lastly you can try to impersonate the admin on the network (ip/MAC) and try again.

Post a picture the router here.
Like ande said port scan would work, try with NMAP using "-sV -O" switches. It often gives router's MAC and other info.
