My router is working fine I want to add my I-PAD and want wifi to work

on your computer, in a web browser type in 192.168.1.1 to access the router's control panel.
You will need to enter admin in the user id and admin in the password, assuming it is in the default state.
go to wireless and ensure it is active, then go to wireless security and note the password key, or type in your own. then save the changes. You should be able to go to your iPad and in settings / wifi select the router then key in the wireless password key you entered above. NOTE: if this does not work, on the iPad, select the i beside the network name and the "forget this network" - then go back and try connecting again.

Secure your Wireless Router - General Guide

How do I secure my wireless router? A general guide

To set up wireless router security, there are four main steps, which are the same for most routers. These are:

1) Login to your router, using a wired connection
2) Change the router login password
3) Change the network name (SSID)
4) Enable WPA encryption.

This is a very general guide, which will use the Netgear DG834G wireless router as an example. As every router is different, you will need your user manual to get the most out of this tip. (If you need help with finding a manual, see ‘How To Find a Router Manual’).

Here are the details:

1) Login to your router, using a wired (Ethernet) connection.
Make sure you have a cabled connection to your router. Then open a web browser, and type the router’s IP address into the address bar. For example, this is http://192.168.0.1 for the Netgear DG834G (Note, there is no ‘www’).

Enter username and password at the prompt.

Netgear DG834G: the defaults are username: admin and password: password (or, for UK Sky users - username: admin and password: sky). Other routers – common usernames are admin or blank: common passwords are admin, password, 1234, or blank.

If you log in successfully, you should then see the router configuration screen.

2) Change the router login password.
To change the router password, find a menu option such as Setup, Tools, Administration, Basic Settings, Management, or Utilities. On the Netgear DG834G – this option is under Maintenance > Set Password.

Set and confirm a new login password. Click ‘Save/Apply’ when finished.

Tip: Write the router login password on a label, and stick it to the router.

3) Change the SSID (network name):
The SSID or Network Name is the name you see when you are looking for an ‘available wireless network’.

To access this setting, find a menu option such as Wireless, Wireless Security, Security, or perhaps Advanced Settings. For the Netgear DG834: the Network Name/ SSID option is under Setup > Wireless Settings.

Change the SSID from the default, to anything you like. It is case sensitive, and you can use up to 32 letters – but do not use something that could identify you, or your location. Click ‘Save’ or ‘Apply’ when finished.

4) Enable WPA encryption
Find the Wireless Security or Wireless Encryption Options section - often in the same section as the SSID (eg for Netgear – it’s still in Wireless Settings).

You may have a number of encryption options. Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK (good choices to start with).

You then need to enter a network key. The box to enter this may be labelled Network Key: it may also be labelled WPA-PSK, WPA Shared Key, PSK, Security key, Passphrase, Pre-shared key, Authentication key . On the Netgear DG834Gv3 it is labelled ‘Network Key’.

The network key should be a long password, or passphrase, between 8 and 63 letters/numbers long. This can be any series of letters/ numbers, or you can use a phrase with numbers - eg, 451ThisisGooDFunforgEeks7899. It is case sensitive. (If you think your connection is likely to be hacked, pick a very strong network key.)


Note down your network key carefully. You will need this to connect wirelessly. Click ‘Apply/Save’ when finished.

That's it - you have done enough to secure your network, and can close the screen.

There are further security options to enable if you wish, but these three are the most important.

When you next connect wirelessly, you should see your wireless router with its new name in the 'available wireless networks'. When you attempt to connect, you are asked for the network key you set in Step 4. If all goes well, you can then save this and will connect automatically in future.

If you get stuck with any of this, consult your manual, or post on Fixya. Good luck with securing your router.

A word about WPS: WPS is a shortcut method to help you implement security on a wireless router. Consult your user manual if your router is WPS enabled, and you prefer to use WPS.

How do we find the WEP key for my WGR614v9

Configuring WEP:
  1. Use an ethernet cable to connect a computer to any one of the four LAN ports of the NETGEAR router.
  2. In a web browser, enter the router's IP address - either http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1 by default.
  3. When prompted for a Username and Password, enter the default username and password (admin; password) unless you have already changed it. NETGEAR recommends changing the default password to increase the security of your network.
  4. Select Wireless Settings from the Setup menu in the left-hand navigation bar. n101675_image001.jpg
  5. Under Security Options, select WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
  6. From Security Encryption (WEP) > Authentication Type, select Automatic.
  7. From Security Encryption (WEP) > Encryption Strength, select 64-bit or 128-bit. NOTE: You will need to configure your wireless computers with the same setting.
  8. From Security Encryption (WEP) Key, select Key 1 and enter a key.
    • Note: WEP keys are entered in hexadecimal digits, which are any combination of 0-9, A-F.
      • If you selected 64-bit under Security Encryption (WEP) > Encryption Strength, then enter 10 hexadecimal digits for your key.
      • If you selected 128-bit under Security Encryption (WEP) > Encryption Strength, then enter 26 hexadecimal digits for your key.
    • SAVE or KEEP NOTE of these values - they will be required to connect wirelessly to your network.
  9. Click Apply to save the settings.

How to set a password?

  • Access the router's default configuration address through your Web browser by entering this address: http://192.168.1.1 (see Resources). Do not enter a user name. Enter "admin" for the password. That process works for all new Linksys routers. If you have changed the user name or password in the past, use the user name and password that you created.

  • 2

    When the configuration screen opens, click on the "Wireless" tab and select "Wireless Security" to view the router's current security password. The "Security Mode" field will say "Disabled" if you do not have a password to secure your network.

  • 3

    Select the appropriate encryption type from the "Security Mode" drop-down menu. Linksys routers offer WEP and WPA encryption. WPA encryption allows you to use a single password to access the network. WEP encryption creates 10- or 26-character keys that act as your password. Some of your wireless devices may only utilize a certain type of encryption. Determine which protocol is best for your network.

  • 4

    Enter a password that will be required to access the network. For WPA encryption, you can write your own password. For WEP encryption, click the "Generate" button to create passwords that can be used to access the network. Write down your passwords and keep them in a secure location.

  • 5

    Click "Save Settings" to confirm your changes. Your network will now be secured and will require a password for access.

  • 6

    Click the "Administration" tab to create a password to access the router configuration page itself. Be sure to change the password from the default "admin." Reenter the password for confirmation in the next field. Click "Save Settings" to confirm your new password.

    Need to find out password or how to reset a new password

    Unfortunately, there is no way to recover a lost or forgotten password from a router or access point; you will need to reset the device to factory defaults. However, once the device is reset to factory defaults, you can use the default username ("admin") and password (either "password" or "1234" depending on your router) to reconfigure your router settings.

    or

    if there is a small hole in the front or back of the router push a hair pin in to reset to factory settings

    HOW DO I LOCK MY ROUTER

    Locking the router can be done by setting a WEP key. Its a 10 digit alphanumeric key that you can set. Once you set it up, anyone who tries to access your router wirelessly will be prompted for that 10 digit key. Be sure to change your SSID (wireless network name) also so that you can distinguish your own secured wireless network from others.

    SSID can be changed on the main setup page.

    1. To access it, open Internet explorer while your computer is physically connected to the router.

    2. Type http:\\192.168.1.1 (the default IP address of the router.) It will ask you for the username and password.

    3. Enter the word "admin" for both username and password. It is the factory default username and password. On the main setup page, you will find the field for SSID or Network name.

    4. Type your unique wireless network name and click the Save button on the bottom of the page.

    5. On the router's web-based setup page, click the Wireless tab then click the Wireless Security sub-tab

    6. Click the drop-down arrow for Security Mode and select WEP.

    7. Under WEP Encryption select 64 bits 10 hex digits.

    8. Enter a unique word in the Passphrase field, then click Generate.

    9. The result will be a string of letters and numbers displayed in the space provided for Key 1.

    NOTE: Take note of what is in Key 1. This key will serve as the wireless security password. Keep this key confidential.

    10. Click the Save Settings button.


    From now on, whenever anyone tries to access your wireless network, they need to enter Key 1 which you only know. There you go. Your wireless network is protected.

    Securing my wireless linksys BEFW11S4 ver. 4

    Hello,

    I’ll be pleased to help if I can. To answer your last question first, this router is already set up for wireless networking, so nothing further needs to be done with regard to that.

    However, to prevent others using your connection, it's necessary to set up wireless security. There are four main steps, which are the same for most routers:

    1) Login to your router, using a wired connection
    2) Change the router login password
    3) Change the network name (SSID)
    3) Enable WPA encryption

    Here are the details:

    1) Login to your router, using a wired connection.
    First, you will need an Ethernet cable to connect one of your computers to the router. This cable just plugs into a spare port on the back of your router, while the other end plugs into the Ethernet port on your computer (looks like this picture).

    When you are connected, open a web browser on your computer. Type the router’s IP address into the address bar, which is http://192.168.1.1 for this model. (Note, there is no ‘www’)

    You should then see a popup box, prompting you for a username and password. If these have not been changed, leave username blank and enter password: admin

    If you log in successfully, you should then see the Linksys router configuration screen.

    2) Change the router login password.
    To set a new password, go to Administration > Management. Set and confirm a new Router Password. On this screen, I would also recommend that ‘Remote Upgrade’ and ‘Remote Administration’ are disabled. Click ‘Save Settings’ when finished.

    (Tip: write the password on a label and stick it on the router, or keep it somewhere safe. )

    3) Change the SSID (router name):
    Go to Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings. Change the ‘Wireless Network Name (SSID)’ from the default, to anything you like, that you can remember. It is case sensitive, and you can use up to 32 letters –but do not use something that could identify you, or your location.

    At this stage I’d recommend that SSID broadcast remains enabled.

    4) Enable WPA encryption
    Go to Wireless > Wireless Security. Enable Wireless Security. Under ‘Security Mode’ you have a number of options for encryption, but I would pick WPA-Pre-Shared Key, which is very secure and good for most equipment.

    Under ‘WPA Shared Key’ you need to enter a network key. This is a long password, or passphrase, between 8 and 63 letters/numbers long. This can be any series of letters/ numbers, or you can use a phrase with numbers
    ( eg: 456the51stSTATeOFtheUSA1599 ). It is case sensitive. The stronger the network key the better, if you are very concerned about security.

    Note down the network key carefully. You will need this to connect wirelessly. (The network key may also be called the WPA shared key, PSK, WPA-PSK, pre-shared key, security key, passphrase, or authentication key). Click ‘Save settings’ when finished.

    That's it, you have done enough to secure your network, and can close the screen.

    There are further security options to enable if you wish, but these three are the most important.

    When you next connect wirelessly, you should see your network with its new name in the 'available wireless networks'. When you attempt to connect, you are asked for the network key you set in Step 4. If all goes well, you can then save this and will connect automatically in future.

    The model

    Hi Sharmelle1, thanks for this info - I think you wanted to secure your wireless connection? I don't know if you've tried to do this already, so will set this out as if this is your first attempt.

    Note: use a wired connection to the router when changing the router configuration.

    There are four main steps. They are the same for most routers, but I have used the linksys manual for specifics.

    1) Login to your router:
    Open your web browser as if about to view a web page, but instead type the router address in the address bar. For this router, it is http://192.168.1.1 (note, there is no 'www')
    Enter the username and password when requested. If you have never changed these, the username should be left blank, while the password is admin.


    You should then see a configuration screen (the user interface).

    2) Change the router password.
    Click the 'Administration' option, then 'Management'
    You should see the option to enter and confirm a new password for your router (click 'save settings' when finished...)

    3) Change the SSID (router name):
    Click the 'Wireless' menu option and 'Basic Wireless Settings' (Wireless Network). The SSID (router name) is displayed on the page. The default is 'linksys'.

    It's best to change this to something else (anything is OK, as long as you can remember it. But not something that could identify you, or your location.)

    4) Enable encryption
    Still in the 'Wireless' menu option, click 'Security'. Under the 'Security mode' dropdown you have a number of options for encryption. WPA is safest....I would pick WPA-Personal.

    I would leave the default settings, but in the box marked WPA shared key you should enter a long password, or passphrase, between 8 and 63 letters/numbers long. This can be any series of letters/ numbers, or you can use a phrase with numbers ( eg - 456HappyhOLIdaystoyou8899). It is case sensitive.

    Note down the passphrase carefully. You will need this to connect wirelessly. (The WPA shared key may also be called the network key, PSK, pre-shared key or passphrase). Click 'Save settings' when finished.
    That's it, you have secured your network, and can close the screen.

    When you next connect wirelessly, you'll see the router with its new name in your 'available wireless networks'. When you attempt to connect, you are asked for the WPA shared key you set in Step 4. If all goes well, you can then save this and will connect automatically in future.

    Hope this helps you. Please come back to Fixya if this doesn't work or if you need help with any of it.

    What is a wpa key

    Hi Robert,

    the key you are referring to is like a password for the wireless network and need to be entered in order to get access. If this is your wireless network and you did not set the access key then its most likely still set to the default which is normally one of a string of numbers you will find on the bottom of your wireless router.
    You can change the key if you like (to make it easier to remember) by going into the router settings, clicking on the wireless settings portion and changing or even deactivating (not recommended) the need for a password.
    Getting to the sett tings menu of a router is different for each brand so any walkthroughs i give you to get to that point would most likely be wrong. That said here's an example for what i do with my personal router:

    1- I type 192.168.0.1 in my internet explorer browser but yours will probably be different. check your manual or search for your manual online. they are always easy to find.
    2- the router settings pops up
    3- i click on network settings then wireless settings
    4- i change the password to no less than ten numbers and letters
    5- i save the changes then exit the settings
    6- i go to my xbox and enter the password i just input
    7- i frag everyone i see in Halo including the master chief. :)


    I hope this helped, please dont forget to rate me.
