I don’t have instructions for my router anymore, it’s been a couple years. I want to make my wireless connection password protected. While I just use the wireless, there is a desktop hooked up to it that I have access to.
how do i do it?
WEP encryption
usually 192.168.0.1/1.1
most time user: admin, pass: nothing or try admin
Diff routers have different settings
The above is typical for Linksys Wrt54G’S
so… i do this on the desktop thats hooked up to it i take it?
is it just under network connections?
Pm’d
you mean im’ed
This is true.
just enable WPA, you’ll never be able to really secure it. Kismac can break WEP’s in under 10 minutes, WPA may even be more secure if you choose gibberish as the key.
Turn off SSID Broadcast and rename the newtork something obscure.
I like to leave my SSID enabled to piss off my neighbors.
There’s 8 apt’s and all have wireless, so I tend to put stuff like Apartment 3 is a big slut, etc. and so on.
It’s amusing but I’ve yet to get questioned.
^^also an excellent plan
