Can some tell me exactly how I can secure the router/access point so that in order for you to get onto my wireless router you need a password.I tried a tutorial online that someone sent me to but it messed up my computer and then my router access and I had to completely uninstall my router and such.I know it can't be as hard as I've apperently made it out to be.

First i just used wep and mac address filtering. Then i found out that wep was weak! (can be cracked within a matter of minutes!! ) then i got smart and used wpa. It has always been important to have a secure wireless network. and nice video chris. I have had a wireless network for a long time. First i just used wep and mac address filtering.

I have secured it then forgot the password. I have messed around with the settings, then had to reboot it. I have tried different modems, and it seems like i just keep messing them up. Oh well i guess i will just leave mine unsecure. I don't live in a busy area so i think i will fine in terms of protection.Bradley Bradwell I have just given up on securing my wireless network.

They aren't the most computer literate and gave me £5 to sort it out! When I first set up a network, I discovered my neighbors had their network key the same as their network name!

KEEP your gateway secure. If you can't secure it, take down the wireless gateway. You don't want people stealing from you. I have since left my connection encrypted and firewall protection. That is your best bet. I have been a victim of people stealing my wireless internet connection. KEEP your gateway secure. If you can’t secure it, take down the wireless gateway.

A WEP password will ensure that no random users getting on it. With access to your network, others can use your printer...

That way i can have all my wired computers connected to one LAN with full file sharing enabled. Any computer that is connected to the wireless access point can not see let alone ping any other computers in the network. This provides extra peace of mind on top of a well secured router with WPA (64 characters) and MAC filtering.
