How can you put a password on your wireless internet?

I recently bought a wireless router for my internet, the problem is that i want to put a password so I can protect it. Is there a website that shows me? Thank you

Usually on the Wireless set-up it'll give you the option as well as letting you name the network, try revisiting that in control panel and adjusting it there, I'm sure that's how I did it.

You need to log into your router and not knowing which type you have I can't tell you exactly how to do it. Control panel on your pc will not be of help. Pull out the manual for your router or get the PDF of it online at your router manufacturer's web site and read the instructions for securing it. I highly suggest you secure it.
Reply:your manual will tell you what IP address the gateway the wireless router has by default (or the manufacturer website, if you don't have the manaul). google up the model name from the back + "manual" as last resort. if it's a dsl/cable modem with wireless built in and you don't have the info, ask your ISP.





connect to the lan port with an ethernet cable. open a browser and put in the IP address of the gateway to get to the setup options.
Reply:You should give more details, like the type of router. I'm sure if you went to the website for the router manufacturer, you could find help on it.

Reply:Nearly all wireless routers run in unsecured mode which has no passwords or any other security on the connection. If you want passwords on your wireless you need to turn on security on your wireless and you will either have WEP or WPA as possible options some of the newer ones have WPA2. As a general rule WPA2 is the most secure followed by WPA and WEP to a much lesser degree. What you need to do is turn on your router's security.





Most routers have an web based configuration tool which you access by entering an IP address into your browser. I know D-Link's is generally 10.1.1.1 and the Belkin is 192.168.2.1 and the LinkSys is 192.168.1.1 I think. You need to find out which one yours is and I assume you have the manual and it should tell you. If you don't have the manual go to the company's website and you should be able to download a copy of it from there. When you find out the configuration address enter that into your web browser.





Depending on your router you may be presented with a login screen use your manual to find out what the default username and password is and enter that into the prompt. Some don't have any passwords on this address so you may not get a login screen. Its a good idea to put a new password on this tool too and you can do that in the tool itself. I recommend not to use the same password for your wireless as anyone who has your wireless password will be able to access your wireless configuration too as well. You should now be presented with your router's configuration page.





Look for an item titled "Wireless" and select either WEP, WPA or WPA2 depending on what your rotuer supports. WEP will call it a password, WPA and WPA2 calls it a passphrase. WPA allows you to choose a server, hex address or a string select the string option. Enter your password and then click OK or Apply depending on your router. More than likely your router will reboot.





If all goes well next time you try to connect to the wireless you will be prompted for the password. Good luck amd remember to keep your password in a safe place. Windows is generally good at remembering your password to access your wireless but sometimes it can forget it.
