How do I set security for my Linksys WRK54G 2.4GHZ

You don't need the disk. You should be able to log-in to the web interface of the router at this URL: http://192.168.0.1/

If you don't remember the password, you'll have to reset the router to factory defaults and then log-in with password "admin".

1. if you haven't done it yet go to the manufacturers site and see if there is a firmware update.
2. here is a set of instructions to follow for all wireless routers.
1.Log into router. Using either 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 in a browser window that is ( internet Explorer or Firefox)
2. Verify wireless router name( on the computer) >>> ( on/off) ( router status window)
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.
8. check for firmware update at the manufacturers site for your model router
9. cell phones, cordless phones, digital TV's, can affect the data signal from a router. Also distance from the router can be a factor. If your router is in a basement place the router to a upper floor and center it in the room.
Some ISP have bandwidth caps . if you have exceeded this you may not have connectivity. Check with you ISP ( Internet Service Provided).

Here is the manual (http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201001/20100120173529671/BD-C6500-0120.pdf) ..I typed 192.168.1.1 into my internet explorer address bar and it went to my router options from there I assigned a port

Yes you can use multiple wireless card for this router and any version will do, any wireless adapter will work with the WRK54G fine.

The username & password for the router is by default admin/admin.

Hope this helps

linksys username is blank
password is admin
if these are not correct press reset on back and try again, reset will set to default settings.

Many routers have a hole in them; stick a paper clip in, and it will reset itsef to its defaults. Go to linksys online to get the info you need--it will tell you it's default settings, and you can download the instructions. If you have DSL cable, the router will detect its settings automatically. Remember to encrypt it, or any one of your neighbors can use it to connect to the internet wirelessly. You won't have to bother if you connect through a cable to your pc.

Hi...

The WRK54G is actually a stripped down version of the WRT54G that was bundled with a wireless network adapter and sold under the kit name WKPC54G.

From what you say in your question I gather that you have a WRT54G already in place as your access point, and it is what is connected to your WAN. To use the WRK54G as a range extender repeater you should do the following:

1. Turn off DHCP
2. Turn off NAT
3. Assign a fixed IP that is in your Class C Block
4. Define the WRT54G as the Gateway

With this configuration it now should function as an extender/repeater, and any clients connecting to it will be serviced by the DHCP on the master router.

I hope that this helps.
