How to create a password on my wireless router ?

If you follow cisco linksys wireless setup  CD, you can easily setup wireless
password following the pop-up windows. In case you lose your CD, the following steps
can be followed.


Have a computer connected to the Linksys router with an ethernet cable.
Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the
address bar type:

http://192.168.1.1 [enter]

This will bring you to the Linksys router's login screen. The default
user name is left blank and the default password is "admin" without the
quotes. Enter that information. You are now in the router's
configuration utility. Since you neglected to mention which Linksys
router you have, your configuration utility may differ slightly from mine.

Click on the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new
password. WRITE IT DOWN SOMEWHERE YOU WILL NOT LOSE IT. Re-enter the
password to confirm it and click the Save Settings button at the bottom
of the page. The router will restart and present you with the login box
again. Leave the user name blank and put in your new password to get back
into the configuration utility.

Now click on the Wireless link at the top of the page. Change the
Wireless Network Name (SSID) from the default Linksys to something you
will recognize.


Click the Save Settings and when you get the prompt that your changes
were successful, click on the Wireless Security link which is right next
to the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If
you have a newish computer, you will be able to set the Security Mode to
WPA2-Personal. Do that and enter a passphrase. The passphrase is what
you will enter on any computers that are allowed to connect to the
wireless network.

For further details, refer to your router manual. If you have lost your
router manual, you can read it at the Linksys website, www.linksys.com.
