Connect to the web-server "inside" the router, and run the Wireless Network Setup Wizard", and choose a SSID and choose a password.

Tell *NOBODY* the password -- they still can see that your network exists, but, without the password, they cannot connect.

Compare it to telling people your address, but leaving the outside doors locked; they can see your home, but they cannot enter.

I had to reset my router and need to secure it, can you tell me how to do that?

Add a new user-name and password to the device as opposed to the default logon name and password.
Pick WPA2 as the wireless type if your computers/ devices support it.
Pick a nice long pre shared key (PSK) for the wireless connection code,

I purchased a new laptop,,and when Itried to connect to the internet wirelessly it recognized my router, but asked for security code. I don,t know what my code is.

if you don't know your security code, then you will need to reset the router (Use the reset button on the back) then you should be able to connect wireless unsecured. from that point you can type the default gateway IP address (192.168.1.1) in the address line of internet explorer, this will open the web interface of the router (Leave username blank, admin for password) then you can re-enable wireless security and pick a new code (I recommend an old 10 digit phone number you can easily remember but hard for others to guess)

Wireless security-enabled network

That should be in your router under "wireless", and then "security" Make sure all your devices share and support the security you haver picked. In other words if you pick WPA2, you should prolly pick WPA2/mixed with TKIP/AES, ect. Dont pick WEP unless you have an older card. Its too easy to crack.

What is the wpa code for this wireless router

This is the part where you either get it from someone who knows, or you reset it. The WPA code does not display. If you don't know it, you log in, pick wireless security, and establish a new code.

You'll have to go to every computer that uses it and change the login.

Have a belkin wireless gateway router mod # f5d6231-4

With the router powered on, press and hold the reset button for exactly
seven seconds, this will restore the router to factory default.
Note: By default the password on the router is left blank, and the
default IP address is 192.168.2.1

Interner connection

well first is it wired or wireless?

Wired: just plug in your Ethernet Cable in the back of the PS3 and go to Network Settings, Internet Connection and pick wired. do a Connection test and your good to go.

Wireless Network Settings, internet Connection then pick wireless, pick our access point and put any security codes in(WEP, WPA-SK) connection test and it should work.

But i recommend using the Wired connection cause the internet is a lot faster.
