Open the router setup page with address 192.168.1.1
Username =nothing leave this blank and password is
ADMIN and then go to
the wireless security settings.
Select WEP or WPA
enter the password and save the settings.
Reboot the router after that and now your wireless signal is password protected
it depends on what you specifically want to
password-protect: a. protecting the network from unauthorized users? b.
protecting the network's admin interface? for a. - log into
your network's admin interface (usually http://192.168.0.1) - go to the category
of wireless security -
select the type of network protection you are looking for (strength - i.e. wep,
wap, wpa2) and set your password following the steps listed within your router's
admin interface... for b. - log into your network's admin
interface (usually http://192.168.0.1) - if you have never done this before,
then your username should be filled in as Admin and leave password blank and hit
enter.... from there, you are able to change or at least add a password to the
interface from unauthorized access (usually under category security)
On configuration you can do by your browser you may want to go to wireless menu and to set type of wireless protection to WPA2 and then choose the password for your wireless network
through the ip adress contol panel on you browser by typing the ip adress in the browser it will ask for a user name and password. This is where you can chang that setting and maney others.
Select your model (v3,v4,v5 etc) then look at the setup pages. Set your security to WPA rather then WEP as this is easily crackable, and with WPA you can choose the password. You should also change the routers admin password to be extra safe.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Windows, if that's what you're using, may be connecting to a different router than yours. Verify that you're connecting to your access point.
Also, make sure there is a good connection between the router and your cable or dsl modem.
Finally, you can try connecting your computer to the router using an ethernet cable. That will at least let you verify that the computer and router work together, and you can configure the router and so forth. If connecting with a wire succeeds, that narrows the problem down to the wireless network connection.
Here's the manual. Troubleshooting is near the end, but it doesn't look like your specific problem is listed...
