i can help :D
Choose WEP
select enter key manually (NOT create with passphrase)
enter a 10 digit number (area code and phone number is easiest to remember!)
leave it as 64 bits
all this is doing is keeping someone else from getting onto your network from a wireless or other access point
WPA is better but it’s much easier with WEP and I sincerely doubt anyone is that desperate to get onto your network they will crack the phone number/password you use
Don’t use WEP use WPA, kk thx!
You are correct. Enter anything you want and it will generate the WEP key. I would say to use WPA though, it’s more secure.
Yeah, the passcode is something you make up, ideally it’s like a “super password” that anyone who is going to get on your network needs to know. Make it like 20 characters, and write it on a post it note and put it on your router.
you can set different types of security, i’d go with a 128 bit wep security. Basically its just 26 alpha numeric characters that have to be typed in anytime someone wants to gain access to your network. i set up mine using initials birthdays and other random letters. once you set it to a computer though and allow them on the network you don’t have to enter it every time. You might want to choose a combination that is fairly easy for you to remember just in case you want to let someone on your network or you get a new computer or something and need to allow it on your network.
You can use WEP which is a password so nobody can hack into what you are looking at on the interent or you can use WPA which is much safer but you cant use Nintendo ds to connect with. I would reccomend WPA for using a laptop wirelessly. You go on Wifi connections i think and it will have all the WEP and gateway and things like that.
Your key doesn’t have to be random, it could be anything. Words, letters, numbers, anything really and the WPA will generate itself.
ya or have one selected, but make sure you copy and paste it to your computer in a file that you won’t lose. try typeing in the IE address bar. http://192.168.1.1
good info, gotta keep this
use WPSK 2 nothing else
use MAC filtering
turn of UPnP
only allow those IP address that you know are the systems in your home/ on your network , Pc’s wii, 360 etc
use a combination of numbers letters lower and uper case
you can get a key gen online
you will then need to add the KEY to all the systems on your network so right it down
asign a PASWORD and a USERNAME to the router DON NOT use the default settings
this is just the start goolge router security for more configurations x
WPA is far more secure than WEP and it would probably be eaiser for you to use WPA because you create your own password, instead of getting a huge generated password from your router.
Just make sure you use a password with at least 10 characters, including upper and lower case letters and number — no dictionary words!
