First you have to access the router through web browser (Internet Explorer) by typing the IP address of your router in the address bar, which is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (written at the back of router and lookup for the options to do the following: -
1. Change the SSID (Name) of the router
2. Change the default administrative user name and password (unless you've configured otherwise, the default username is admin and the password password.)
(The above step would prevent unauthorized access to your router)

Next step is to secure it:
1. Go to "Wireless Settings" and "Security Options", select your desired encryption method (preferably WPA2-PSK)
3.Choose a Network Key - it can be anything, as long as it's 8-63 characters in length
4. Click Apply

Now your router and your connection would become secure and the user has to provide the network key to access the internet.

Hi i want to change my password on my Huawei router. how do i reset it . Thanks

To reset the password on your Huawei router, you can follow these general steps:
  1. Access the Router Settings:
    • Connect your computer or mobile device to the Huawei router via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable.
    • Open a web browser and enter the default IP address of the router in the address bar. The default IP address for Huawei routers is often "192.168.1.1" or "192.168.0.1". If these addresses don't work, you can check the router's documentation or look for the default IP address on the router itself.
    • Press Enter to access the router's login page.
  2. Log in to the Router's Configuration Page:
    • On the login page, enter the username and password. The default login credentials are usually provided on the router or in the documentation. Common default usernames and passwords for Huawei routers are "admin" for both the username and password fields.
    • Click on the Login or Sign In button to proceed.
  3. Navigate to the Password Settings:
    • Once you are logged in, find the settings section related to Wi-Fi, Wireless, or Security.
    • Look for an option named "Password," "WPA Key," or "Pre-Shared Key" to change the Wi-Fi password.
    • If you want to change the router's administration password (used to access the router's settings page), look for an option like "System," "Administration," or "Management" settings.
  4. Change the Password:
    • Enter your desired new password in the appropriate field.
    • Make sure to choose a strong and secure password that includes a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters.
    • Some routers may require you to re-enter the new password to confirm it.
  5. Save the Changes:
    • After entering the new password, look for a "Save," "Apply," or "Submit" button to save the changes.
    • Click on the appropriate button to save the new password.
  6. Test the New Password:
    • Disconnect any devices currently connected to the Wi-Fi network.
    • Reconnect the devices to the Wi-Fi network using the new password to ensure it is working correctly.

WPS button

I have a WRT54G router and there is no WPS button.

This is a cut and paste from Cisco engineer:
Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS is a somewhat new feature on most routers. However, I believe that the WRT54g was release prior to this feature. The installation disc for your wireless adapter is trying to circumvent network discovery and the process of entering a wireless password by using the WPS feature. Without using the installation disc to setup the adapter should still be able to connect to your Wi-FI network. Only use the disc to install the drivers for your wireless card and the wireless access utility. After you have done this:
1.Open the wireless utility and you should see available networks
2.Select your Wi-Fi network
3.If the network is open (not password proctected) you should be connected immediately
4.If the network is secured (password protected) then you will prompted to enter your password or preshared key
5.After entering the key you should be granted access to the network
