The least you can do is set WEP key( in router config) to access the wifi router/AP ( access point). this will prompt client/s to enter password/key if they want to access internet via your router.good luck

My iLive platinum was connected to my Wi-Fi and was working great for over 6 months, now it’s connecting to Wi-Fi but not connecting the speaker and it’s not showing that my same Wi-Fi is unsecured. What...

Sounds like your WiFi settings got changed to unsecure or you have a neighbor with the same WiFi network ID (SSID) that is confusing your iLive platinum.

Try changing the name of your WiFi network and confirm that you have WPA2 security enabled.

It is asking for an access code to an access point . What is that?

Wireless networks can be secure or unsecure. Anyone can connect to an unsecure site simply by searching for available sites and choosing an unsecure one to connect to. There are inherit risks associarted with unsecure sites and you should NEVER do any financial or highly personal transactions on an unsecure network. Secure networks require a password (access code) to complete connection. This code is provided by the owner/administrator of the network. If you are allowed to connect to such a network, you should already be aware of the code. Otherwise you are basically not invited to the party.

How do I turn on my laptop in order to use ot wirelessly?

Hi

Enable your wireless connections and search for wireless connection that in unsecured or secured connection. For secured connection, you need to encode the WEP password to be able to access into the internet. For unsecured connection, you can connect directly and automatically.

I hope it helps you.

How to remove a network/signal?

Connect to the unsecure network, either directly with a cable, or connect via wifi. Once you are connected, open your web browser and go to:

http://192.168.2.1

There should be no password, just hit enter, then you can change the SSID and/or channel, etc.

I pulled the instructions from Belkin support:

Good Luck!

My Router works only if I do not put security password on it.

The router works only if the network is unsecured.
When you secure the wireless network , make sure that you will change the wireless network name also. Because if you change the wireless security and if you keep the same network name then your computer will try to connect to the same network name with the old unsecured settings saved on the computer.
Try to change the SSID ( network name ) and security to WPA, check if that works.
If that doesn't work then I believe you will need to upgrade the FIRMWARE of the router.

D-Link DIR-625 - Unsecure connection

How do you know that you are connecting and there is no security? There first thing to check is the router settings. You should type into the browser 192.168.1.1 (or whatever you have configured your router's IP address for). Enter the user name and password for the router. On the next screen you will notice a link for wireless settings. Click this and on the new page check the bottom section that says "Wireless Security Mode". It should be set to something other than "none". Post back and let me know what it is set to.
