How do I secure my Dynamode BR 6004 WG1 I am a complete novice.Thanks
To secure your wireless network from unauthorized access, you need to at least configure the wireless router with encryption, and the SSID, and change the router's default login password.
Please follow these instructions :-
To connect to your wireless router, it needs the router’s wireless settings configured and also needs the wireless cards in all the laptops and or computers to be configured with the router’s wireless settings. Then the laptops and desktop computers can communicate with your wireless router.
To set-up and secure the wireless router from unauthorized access, follow these steps: -
1. Connect the wireless router to your computer with a LAN cable.
2. Start your browser and enter the router's configuration URL IP address.
3. Enter the router setup, login and password
4. Change the admin password
5. Go to the wireless settings and change the default SSID and turn off SSID broadcast.
6. Setup encryption key the strongest is WPA2 (if not then WPA). The encryption key can be easily set up using a passphrase (it can be an alpha numeric phrase or words).
7. For further security measures - turn on MAC address filtering and enter the MAC address of the wireless cards on the computer/s you want to connect to this wireless router.
8. Record the settings you have made and keep it in a safe place and Save the settings.
9. Configure the wireless cards on the computer/s with the SSID and encryption settings of the router.
10. Remove the LAN cable between the router and the computer then the computers should be able to connect to the router wirelessly.
To access the Internet you need to connect the DSL or cable modem to the WAN (Internet) port on the wireless router.
Hi
Thanks for your help but straight away I failed to change the admin password couldnt see how it was done and change the ssid to what?
I do not know the configuration URL for our model wireless router, but you should try this
http://192.168.1.1
Try to find your documentation for this router.
Your documentation will show the configuration URL, default login and password.
If you had changed the password forgot it and failed to get into the router's configuration then there may be a pinhole RESET at the back of the router. power up the roer and press the RESET button until the LED lights flash. Once the router has been reset then can enter the configuration URL, the default login and password to enter to change the wireless router's settings.
Things you need to change to secure your wireless network, don't forget to note these settings.
Change the default login password
Change the SSID - can be any name you like.
Enable encryption, use WPA or WPA2 provided the wireless card in your computer can support this encryption method.
Then configure the wireless card in the computer with these settings so it can connect to the wireless router.
Please refer to my previous instruction for mor detailed instructions.
