I had to reset my netgear router.It now shows that it is unsecured.How do access the router and secure it again?

reset the router. reset button is on back of router usually..press and hold for at least 30 seconds or more! Repeat if not successful.

Unfortunately there is no way of recovering your password however if you reset your router it will allow you to connect to the internet without a password however this will make your router unsecure. To reset press and hold the reset button in the back of the modem for 15 seconds or until router resets, You may want to secure your router after, depending on what type of router you have you will want to go directly to the router website for example Netgear router www.netgear.com Linksys router www.linksys.com locate securing router on the website and it will show you step by step how to secure your router. Good Luck

If the security is enabled on your computer then on router the security has to be enabled.

Please follow the steps:

1.Open the router page (192.168.0.1)
2.Enter the username and password
3.ClickWireless settings and fill the section as mention

Name(SSID)-As per your choice
Region-As per your location
Channel-6
Mode-Auto

Security options
WEP

Security Encryption
Authentication-Automatic
Encryption strength-64bit

Security Encryption key
Key1-type a 10 digit password

Click Apply. Turn off the router for 30 seconds and turn it on again.

I hope this will resolve the issue.

An Unsecured network is open for anyone to freely use with open security to your computer too,

reset the router and then try the default username and password of the netgear routers. Then it will be an unsecured network . Then go ahead and change that to your preference .

Better to reset the router by pressing the reset button for 30 seconds and then run again the setup CD of the router to reconfigure it back so you will know all the settings on it....
