Changing Unsecured wireless network to a secured one.

[ngkk]

Hi all,

just set up a new wireless connection... but right now it's a unsecured network. and i think my neighbours can tap into my network?

so how do i make it secure.

im currently using airlink g plus wireless adaptor. with di-524 Dlink router.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello ngkk,

If your wireless adapter can support WPA Security, I suggest you take avantage of it. To enable WPA on your wireless router, follow these steps.

1. Log into the web-based configuration by opening up a web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1).
2. Click on the Home tab and then click Wireless on the left hand side.
3. Select WPA-PSK using the radio buttons.
4. Enter a key (passphrase). Make sure you enter this key exactly the same key on your wireless computer.

For more detailed information, please see:
