BassJunkie Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Just make sure you turn on the encryption or else you'll have some unwanted eyes in your network.

BassJunkie Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Since your adding a wireless router, go to the computer that you will be using it with (anything with wireless) go to my network places, double click the wireless network, connect to the wireless router, then go to internet explorer or firefox (whatever browser you use) type in 192.168.1.1 then click on your wireless tab, and it will probably prompt for a username and password for this look in the book its usually administrator and password but it varies model to model, you went to set your encryption on usually there is a setting for 64bit or 128 bit 128 bit being the strongest encryption set a password and save your settings, if this is too vague pm me and I'll hit you up on an instant messenger or phone your choice I'll do my best to get you up and running securely.

I have the main computer which the wireless router and cable modem hooked up to and then 3 other computers running with the wireless. So basically i would have to do what you said on all 3 computers? thanks again mike Quote
Clif Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 you will set it up on one computer, for the wireless computers that you use on your wifi you will have a wep key. use this key on your wireless computers that you are connecting.

XpEnSiVeHaBiTz08 Posted January 24, 2008 Author Report Posted January 24, 2008 also do we have do enter the password everytime we use the computers? thanks Quote
Gq85 Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 also do we have do enter the password everytime we use the computers? thanks No you dont' have to. Once you set them up you don't have to enter the password everytime. Quote
XpEnSiVeHaBiTz08 Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Posted February 23, 2008 i was just trying to setup the secure network and it asks if i want to automatically set up a network key or if i was to do it manually. Then at the bottom it asks if i want to use WPA encryption instead of WEP. Then it asks if i want to use a USB flash drive or setup the network manually. What do i say for all those? thanks again mike Quote
