You need to access the routers Setup page. Instructions should be found with the router (will be something similar to 192.168.2.1 etc). Once in there you should find a page on wireless security and how to set it up

on either, once setup, but usual advice is to get it working with one of them, wired, first

the setup page is accessed from your internet browser

http://192.168.1.1

user name & password is admin

o my days im such an idiot just realised what the password was

i opened my internet then entered http://192.168.1.1
it then poped up a box asking for a user name which is admin an a password which is admin.

but becuse im still such an idiot i canot seem to secure my wireless router
it comes up with the routers settings pages but i dont under stand how i set the security features up.

i can find where it says enable security but then it has option on what type to use could any one pleae give me an idiots guide on how to do this pleeease

o an also if i have my computers on as well as the router and its not secure then can people access my files or do the just hav ethe ability to use my band width.
sorry im not verytech minded
