Well, this is the second time typing this because it timed out on me and I freaked out!!! so it may be a little simpler.

Basically, connect your PC directly to your La Fonera Router, use either a cross over cable or a standard one. set your PC network card to

IP: 169.X.X.X ie: 169.1.1.1 and the Subnet to the default: 255.255.0.0.

once that is set wait for the error that says that you have limited or no connectivity open your Firefox and connect to:

http://169.254.255.1/   (Reference)

Once connected you will be prompted for a user name and password, use the following,

User: root

Pass: root

or  admin

From there you can change the language, the IP settings, SSID’s for the secure & public AP, the security settings for the secure AP.  It should look like:

 

 Here is an image of what the SSID’s look like (”Joe’s Network” is my other AP):
