How to lock wireless router for internet - Computers & Internet

No. But first some clarification...

If you are connected to the LinkSys through a home network your computer will be getting an IP address of either 192.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x. This IP address cannot be seen by servers on the internet. However, the one that is for your household which is provided by your ISP can always be seen. This is how the internet knows where to send the information that you request back to you.

Have you tried rebooting the wireless router by unplugging it from power, waiting 60 seconds and plugging it back in again?

1.Log into router
2. Verify wireless router name( on the computer) >>> ( on/off)
3.Note router name you are connecting to.
4.. Check the laptop do ipconfig /all to see current IP addresses.
5. Set the laptop up in the router by WEP KEY or MAC address. This set up in the "security tab" in the router. using 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 to access through a browser.
6.Note router name you are connecting to.
7. Move the laptop about 20ft away and try to log on to the internet.
This is for all routers to set up wirelessly.

WPA is a Wireless Internet Authentication technology. It is setup through your home wireless router. If you have home wireless internet, you should know your WPA or WEP key. However, you dont have Wireless, you might just want to run a network cable from your router to the Playstation.

You can lock your router by setting a password to access it. This is done in your router setup, in the Wireless area. I prefer WPA-PSK [TKIP] for the ease of setup and password selections. This should keep unwanted access to your wireless signal.

The Wii could have triggered your connection settings inside your router firmware to lock up. Router settings may need to be configured to work with your Wii and the other PCs OK

To lock the router you need to set the wireless WEP or WPA key in the router.

Open internet Explorer

Enter http://routeraddress e.g. http://192.168.0.1

Hi there,

You have set up some kind of security on your router, you have to do the same on your laptop.
Se it as a key that have to fit the lock in order to open the dor.
When you access the router, USE A CABLE, do NOT access the router with a wireless conection.
