Secure wireless internet

Hi

To setup security password on the wireless network of the router WGR614 please follow the below steps:

1. Open a web browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Safari) on a computer connected to the router.
2. Access the router's GUI by typing 'http://192.168.1.1' or 'http://www.routerlogin.com' in the address bar.
3. When prompted for Username and Password, please enter 'admin' for the Username and 'password' for Password.
4. Click on Wireless Settings (under Setup) from the left menu.
5. Select security options as WPA-PSK. Enter a Password in the passphrase box. Apply the settings.

The above steps would enable password on your wireless network. Please revert for any further clarification.

Hi tabua/rob,

When you try to connect to your wireless network, you will be prompted for the password. Please note that this password is to authenticate you to connect to your wireless network. You need to log into the router from a computer which is connected to the router with an ethernet cable to find this password from the router's web interface.

1. From the hardwired computer (If you don't have one, you may have to connect your computer to the WRT320N with an ethernet cable on one of the 4 ethernet ports).
2. The default ip address of linksys routers is 192.168.1.1. You could access the router's setup page by typing http://192.168.1.1 in your web browser.
3. Please leave username blank. Enter "admin" in the password field (But without quotes)
4. You should be logged into the router's setup page.
5. Click on the "Wireless" tab. You may find "Wireless Security" just below it. Click on it.
6. You should be able to find your wireless password here. If you are using WPA security, then you need to note down the "Pre-shared key" value from this page. If you are using WEP security, then you have to note down "Key 1" value. This will be your password for your wireless network.
7. Then try to connect to your wireless network from your wireless computer. Enter the password, which you have noted in step 6, when prompted. WRT320N should recognize you and allow you to connect wirelessly, provided the password is correct.

I hope this helps you. Kindly rate my solution, if it does.

Thanks

Hi psheayn,

Kindy copy this steps in notepad and also copy the screen shot before u start doing it.

You can put up a wireless password manually b logging in to the router interface but you should be very careful because if you change any thing else it might be a messup your whole router so kindly do the following steps alone.

Step 1: Open the internet explorer

Step 2: Clear the address bar and just type the number alone which is 192.168.2.1

Step 3: You will get router screen as below

Step 4: In the left corner of the page under "Wireless" Security and select security mode as "64 bit WEP "

Step 5: Type any 2 numbers per box as u like and apply changes. Also make sure that you are gonna copy the password. If you want to connect any other computer in future you will need to have that password to connect.

Step 6: Under security in left side select "WPS or Wifi Protected Setup" and select WPS as disabled and apply changes. Dont worry it not related to security its just an option that has to be disabled if you enable the 64 bit WEP password.

Step 7: Then Connect wireless computer to the wireless network name and will ask for the password this time since password has been enabled. And ur router is gonna be a protected one and no one can hack it.

Step 8: In case if ur not able to connect to the network remove the preferred network and connect to it.

To remove preferred network

XP OS

Start -->control pannel --> Network and Internet connection-->Network connection --> Right click on Wireless network connection icon --> Select 2nd tab Wireless network --> Remove preferred network one by one.

Windows Vista/ Windows 7

Start -->control pannel --> Network and Internet connection -->Network and sharing center --> In the left side select Manage Wireless network and remove preferred network one by one.


Check out the screen shot to enable security on the Router and to disabled WPS

Rob, this change is router brand and model relevant. In essence you need to log into the router and change the wireless settings. Go to the website for the brand and download instructions relevant to yoru specific unit. You want to invoke WEP wireless security, and assign yoru own password, often yoru 10 digit home or cell phone number, change system ID to something that you recognize, change AND RECORD the changes that you make. Also, change the broadcast channel to 11 or so, and have less issues with land line wireless phones.

There is much higher security that you could invoke, but typically just passwording the wireless access does it.

There are two kinds of password protection for your ROUTER;
(1) The Web Interface can be password protected by changing the default password
(2) The Wireless connection password (encryption)

Which one do you want enabled to protect your router?

Hi ,

1.Connect the router to a computer (hard wired).
2.Type 192.168.1.1 in the address bar of the Internet Explorer and hit enter.
3.Leave blank the Username and type admin in Password (only if you have not set the router password).
4.On the Router setu page click Wireless tab (black bar).
5.Click Wireless Security (blue bar).
6.If the Security mode is selected to WEP/WPA, you can note down the password/network key from Key1.
7.If the Security is not set you can configure it from here.

I hope this will resolve the issue.

You'll need to go into the router's webpage. Check your operation manual for the default webpage address and access login/password.

Within the main menu you should be able to find security settings for your wireless configuration.
