router info

[swimstud]

Hey Computer Hope,

Does anyone know of a way to get information about the router my computer is behind?  Is there a program that will give me information about the router name or model number?

Thanks

[The Saviour]

That information is printed on your router...

1. Pick up the router (modem) that plugs into your phone socket and read the name and model

2. Control panel>Network Connections> right click on dial up for properties

3. If you are on a company network - ask your network administrator

Saviour - i think people often get confused by the name router. Not realising that the modem is the router.

I blame the Americans for always changing the names of things 

Car boot = car trunk

Biscuits = cookies

crisp = chips

chips = fries

they can't help re-naming things 

[The Saviour]

Well...you know Americans...we're so *censored* rebellious!

... Not realising that the modem is the router.

Could be but we don't know that, based on the info provided in the OP.  He may have a combination modem/router or he may have a modem AND a router, two separate devices.  I think most likely the latter.

And the router could be in another location as well...
