How to make Linksys wireless router private?

Q. I have a Linksys wireless router and want to keep it private. Can you tell me step-by-step what to do? Thank you!

A. One thing that one must do is password protect ones router in order to keep people from logging into your network and stealing sensitive data.

If you think offenders are logging into your network through a router, than password protect your router.
Log into your router. Set up the password there.

XP
1) Goto Start/Run
2) Type in "cmd"

Vista
1) Click the Start button
2) Type in "command"

Once you are in the command prompt:
1)Type in "ipconfig"
2) In your Internet browser type in "http://" followed by your default gateway (found in the command prompt)
***Example: http://192.168.1.1 (try clicking the link)
3) Login (search online for login info) Usually admin, password
3) There should be a link on the side somewhere. It should have several options like WEP, WPA etc.

Another method is implementing MAC addressing or dynamically assigned IP addresses.

How do I connect a dsl to a linksys wireless B router without obtaining IP address automatically?

Q. My dsl has it's own IP address that must be used but the linksys setup won't allow it. Says I have to let the computer obtain the IP address automatically. How do I do this.

A. You'll probably have better luck if you just forget the Setup CD and try it manually.

Here are some steps to try.

First connect the line from the DSL modem to the router WAN port.
Next plug the computer into the router with a Cat5 ethernet cable. Open a browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.1 and login to the router's webclient. On the Setup page choose static IP and enter the IP/Subnet mask along with any connection options that you might have from the ISP. From here also enable the DHCP server option as well and save. Also make sure to change the routers default username and password and to set up some type of security on the wireless such as WPA along with a shared key. Next configure your wireless NIC to Get an IP address automatically and use the wireless NIC's software or Windows discovery tool to search and connect to your wireless network.

Obviously you can remove the Cat 5 after the wireless is enabled.

Now it will be a little different in terms of addressing if you have a modem/router combo instead of just a DSL modem given to you by your ISP.

If you reset a Linksys router will it do anything to the connections its already setup to?

Q. I have a linksys router and i wanted to get internet on my wii. And i forget my password so i want to reset it, but im not sure if it will do anything to the computers that have hooked up to it already. Will it?

A. It will disconnect. Also, all your wireless computers will still be using the old encryption key and won't be able to connect to the router. Also, the router will no longer have your Internet Service Provider's gateway IP address and Domain Name Server IP addresses. You'll have to set them all back up again.

All for a Wii?

Here's how to find the encryption key: If the encryption key isn't on a label on your wireless modem or router, the likeliest place to find it is in your router's admin pages. Exactly where in those pages varies from brand to brand. If you don't have a router, the following should apply to your modem itself.

Basically, to get into the admin pages, do this:

1.On a computer connected to a wired port on your router (wireless access to the admin pages should be turned off as a security risk), enter the router's local IP address in your browser's address window.ON A LINKSYS, THIS IS PROBABLY 192.168.1.1. THE LOGIN IS USUALLY A BLANK USERNAME AND ADMIN AS THE PASSWORD.
2.Poke around, especially under wireless security, until you find the encryption key. Copy it down EXACTLY. Copy-and-pasting it into a text file (Wordpad is generally best because it's on almost all Windows machines) is even better, as it can be copy-and-pasted from there into whatever needs it. When you see it, you'll understand why this is a good idea.

To find your router�s IP address in Windows:

3.Click on the Start->Run button.
4.In the text box, type

cmd

and press Enter.

5.A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter

ipconfig /all

A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.

Hope that helps.

How do I setup security on my Linksys router without the cd?

Q. How can I setup my Linksys router to where no one can steal my internet? I have no cd, and I tried typing admin and password (in multiple ways) already, and it never logs me into the router? Please jhlp...

A. The login to most Linksys routers (usually IP address 192.168.1.1), is a blank username and "admin" (without the "'s) as the password. Here are some security steps I recommend.

Because routers differ as to details, I can't be specific about how to accomplish these actions, but they're almost all done from within the router's administration web pages. Note: It�s best to do them from a computer cabled (even just temporarily) to the router rather than wirelessly, especially since wireless administration will be deactivated by action #1.

Generally, to access your router�s administration pages, hook up a computer directly to the router and enter the router�s local IP address into a browser�s address window. See way below for details on finding your router's IP address.

1.Deactivate wireless access to your router's administration web pages so only a computer connected via an Ethernet cable can reach them. This won�t affect wireless use of the Internet, just wireless administration of the router. Even if you don�t want to leave a computer connected via a cable, leave the cable there for when you need it.

2.Turn off the SSID (network name) broadcast from the router. There's no need to advertise your network's presence. You're not running a hotspot; everyone who should be on your network should know its name.

3.Change your SSID from the default. Hackers know that routers come with default SSIDs and look for them. Even if the SSID isn't being broadcast, if a hacker knows its name, they can hop on board.

4.Set up encryption with an encryption key. The longer, the better. WPA (if your network and all your computers can support 802.11G) is better than WEP. WEP is better than nothing. Each of your wireless computers and devices will need this encryption key. Wired computers will not.

5.(Optional) Limit access to only the computers you want on the network via MAC filtering. (MAC refers to unique NIC (Network Interface Card) addresses, not Macintosh computers, and not IP addresses.) This isn't a defense against hardcore freeloaders -- it's possible to fake MAC addresses -- but it keeps out casual interlopers.

6.(Optional and only partially effective) Change the range of and/or limit the number of automatically assigned IP addresses (DHCP) to reduce the chance of extra users. Again, hackers know what ranges routers come from the factory with. Changing them makes it a little harder to hop on board.

Here�s how to find your router�s IP address:

1.Click on the Start->Run button.
2.In the text box, type

cmd

and press Enter.

3.A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter

ipconfig /all

A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.

That should go far toward hardening your wireless network.

Q. It's a Linksys WRT54G Wireless-G Router, it was kind of a hand me down from a friend so I don't have any software that may have come with it.

A. You can go to the Linksys site and get the complete information for the unit. To use WEP or WPA you go to the wireless security and make it active. You then select the type and enter a code generator that will give codes you can use to connect the wireless device with. Be sure and Apply the settings. Also, change the router login password.

A. you don't need a cd... just plug your computer into one of the 4 LAN ports on the linksys, and connect the DSL/Cable Modem into the WAN port.

open a browser window on your computer and type: 192.168.1.1 into the address bar... the password window will come on your screen... the default password is 'ADMIN' and leave the login window empty.

you may want to hold the reset button in for 20 seconds before trying the above steps... that way, all the settings go back to factory defaults and you will have full access to the router.

I have to reconnect each time. It is very irritating and happens atleast 3 times a day while I am using the internet.
I tried repairing the "repairing the connection"option but it hasn't helped.
What should I do to fix this problem?
Please help me. Thank you.

A. Linksys router Set Connect on Demand by default.
You need to keep the connection alive all the time by going to the admin page and change some settings
1. Go to your admin page. By default, type 192.168.1.1 in your browser.
2. login with userid and password.
3. Under Setup TAB->Basic Setup->Checked the radio button "Keep Alive: Redial period"

It should solve your problem.

If there is a place using a WI-Fi can i use linksys to connect with the internet? What will i have to pay?

Q. I am moving to an RV park that has WI-Fi & they charge for that if you use it.But i want to know if i can use my Linksys to connect to the internet by bouncing off their WI-FI? Is this also legal?

A. No, to uplink your linksys to thier router you still need the WEP key or login info... so no value in it. You might as well connect directly.
