    You don't need the install disk to configure. Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar and then for username and password type admin for both. You can now configure your Linksys router

    Just a quick hint: just type admin for password and leave username blank.

    Actually Linksys wireless routers don't have drivers, they have firmwares.

    One thing about that or any router though: Change the password immediately. Leaving a default password, especially on a wireless router, leaves it open for anyone to mess with. Oh, yeah, also be sure to tighten up the security as much as possible, such as allowing only your computer's MAC to connect.
