Mahalo (meaning thank you in Hawaiian) from Hawaii!!! A big thank you to you for helping me finally figure out how to secure our modem!!! I’ve been wanting to do that for so long now and finally, it is done!! I really appreciate your detailed instructions that were easy for me to understand. I feel much better knowing that it’s password protected.

I think this is so helpful for me… but I couldn’t secure my wifi router because it wont accept the username and password I entered. I already use the default username and password but no luck

I would highly appreciate if you could help me.

Thanks!

Thank you SOOO much. I have been asking my husband to do this for weeks now and finally I googled to see if I did it myself. I tried a couple different websites, and after getting pretty frustrated stumbled across this one. Your directions were excellent and I finally got it! On the first try too, you are a lifesaver. Thanks again

Thanks a bunch! Just purchased a smartphone and went to connect to my wifi and realized it was not secured. I’ve lived in my apartment about 5 months now and just now am secure! Thanks for the simple step by step how to! Worked perfect for my Dlink router!

Hi, I have the same Linksys WRT54G router you use in this great tutorial “With” screenshots- a great help. My issue is with the terminology at “Wireless Security”
I am all set from changing the login to the router
changed the admin /admin. my issue is password protecting the wireless. When I go to “Wireless” and then “Wireless Security” I have a different drop down menu than you show. It has WEP (which allows me to enter a “passphrase” in the box “WPA Shared Key. But, I want a WEP setting. My choices are WEP, DISABLE, WEP Pre-shared key (which has numbers and letters in the box) WEP RADIUS which has a place for “shared key”, Then the same as above but ends in a “2″ (WEP2 Shared Key) Then, WEP2 Shared Key Mixed, WEP2 Shared Key Mixed Radius” which allows me to enter a “shared key”, There is no WPA Personal, etc. Can I use “WEP Preshared Key” and just enter my own created password? Just not sure which choice to make! Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. In addition, we have a second wireless router – exactly the same – that I want to secure, Currently, it is unsecured – will their be an issue if I follow the same directions for it? Thank you so much for any information you can provide.
