    I've just attempted to install my wireless router.
    I follwed all the instructions to connect it but have hit a problem.
    Living in Korea the WGR 614 has auto-detected that the local language is, suprisingly, Korean. Unfortunately my computer doesn't support Korean so all of the installation and setup appear as just random symbols.
    Does anyone know of a way to change the settings for the router? I've tried going to www.routerlogin/basicsettings.htm but this just gives the same Korean blurb.
    Is there a VERY simple way around this? :confused:

    What browser are you using to connect to the router? Do you have the ability to install a korean language pack in the operating system?

    I'm using Internet Explorer. I've got the Korean language pack installed as I can type in Korean, only it doesnt seem to work when I'm using IE. All Korean pages are just random symbols.

    You can select Korean encoding manually in IE to see Korean text displayed properly. Go to View - Encoding - More - Korean. This assumes that you have Korean fonts on your system and that you can usually read Korean websites.
