Husband Abandonment
I need access to the router and my husband abandoned us. It was under his email. I have tried every way I can to get him to tell me the passcode and he doesn't reply. Is there a way to get in there without him and see the history?

Factory reset the router using one of the following processes and set it up from scratch using new information:

The history isn't going to tell you much.
If you're just wanting in, you can factory reset and reinstall.
You'll lose all that info but again, it isn't going to help you much anyway.
