I can't access my router because the password isn't correct, which stops me from connecting with friends in Call of Duty Zombies. Would buying a new router fix the issue?
You should be able to reset the router's settings, including the password. There's usually a small button, possibly recessed in a pinhole, on the back or the bottom that will reset its settings, if you push and hold the button down for 5-10 seconds.
Sure, this applies only in the short term. After that, swapping the router won’t help either, as it would also interrupt their connection. If you don’t own the router, you shouldn’t attempt to change its settings without authorization. Also, if others depend on the same one, I’m reconsidering and suggesting you leave it alone.
The system will restart to restore everything to its original configuration, which means all recent adjustments will be erased. For instance, if you switched to a new Wi-Fi password, it will revert to the standard setting, causing other users to lose access.
You wanted to purchase a router to connect your PC and enable NAT functionality, but you're worried about resetting everything by turning it off before proceeding. That's the situation.
However, the device needs to link with another system. In your scenario, your existing network already includes a router, so you’d need to attach the new router to the older one. Because the NAT is set up on the older unit, it wouldn’t make any difference.
