How do I set a password to my wifi?

Postby jabin » Sat Dec 31, 2011 4:36 am

Alright I have a wifi connection, but theres no password. Whenever I turn on the airport in my imac, I just have to click on my connection and it just connects without asking for any password. I'm a little worried about my neighbors using my connection. How do I set a password for my wifi? I have a Dlink modem with an inbuilt router.

How do I set a password to my wifi?

if you have a linksys router type this in your browser

http://192.168.1.1 your user name is admin and your password is admin.

go to your wifi settings and choose wpa or wpa2 for the password when you set it it will kick you off the net...

find your router whatever you named it if you did not give it a name it might becalled linksys and it will ask you for your password and just type it in there.

remember to rate.

Yes, definitely secure your connection.

"Fortunately, it's pretty easy to secure a wireless network system: you need to log in to your router, which is usually done by simply entering a special IP address in your Web browser (try 192.168.1.1 if the documentation that was included with the router doesn't explain). If that fails, you might need to hook the router directly to the computer via a USB cable, though those are definitely rare systems.

Once you've hooked up, you should find a multi-tab configuration tool that has one tab labeled "Security" or similar. Click on that and you should be able to find "Password" as an option or button. Click on that and it should give the options of WEP or WPA. I recommend that you choose WPA and use a long password - it's far more secure than WEP."
