hi guys,
can someone explain step by step actions in order to protect a home wireless connection on a existing unprotected connection?
thanks a lot
 
go into your routers configuration page - do this by looking on the back of your router and enter the url address in the address bar of your internet and then it will ask you to enter a user name and password - this should be on the back of the router so enter as on the back of the router

then once in click on the tab where it says wireless settings > security options and then click on any of the wpa keys and enter a password and hay presto click done and all good
 
pls help,,thanks, but when u say the back of ur ruter, u mean the router itself or the instruction guide or the disk, ??i mean i checked on the back of my router itself while it is connected but there no thing as such,,
thanks a lot
 
i mean the router itself, on the back it should say something like default access/gateway is 192.168.0.0 or routerlogin.net also on there will be the user/password details

if not there will be in instructions or cd depends various manufacturers do it differentley

what router you got???
 
the model number would help greatly???

but i got netgear aswell so try to enter this in your internet address bar

192.168.0.1

user name - admin
password - password

or if that doesnt work try

routerlogin.net

and the same username/password as before

sorry lol , robina,
just a final note, once i ve done so, does it mean that anytime i turn my pc on I got to type in my password to access internet?
thanks a million!!!!!!!
 
yeah for the first time when u access the internet on any pc it will ask you to enter the password but you only have to ewnter it once and then it will store it
 
You only need to enter the username and password for the router when you want to access it. Unless your internet provider is asking for your password before you can start to browse then no password should be required.
