| 751495 | 2009-02-26 06:42:00 | Hi People. I have been given a Belkin Wireless Cable DSL Gateway Router. Model F5D6231-4. It works well but unfortunatly the security is not active. Any ideas how to set the security so all and sundry cannot access my connection. Cheers Colin |

| 751496 | 2009-02-26 07:05:00 | Go to the routers IP(usually 192.168.1.1, check manual) then go to wireless properties, then create a key there for WPA or WEP, use WPA2 if you can, as its much safer than wep | Blam (54) | ||
| 751497 | 2009-02-26 07:37:00 | Belkins - AWWHHHHH -- Only kidding - worked on 3 different ones today. Pays to use IE - open the browser, type in the Routers IP which is http://192.168.2.1 < Enter> Password by default is blank ( no Password) Once the interface has loaded, click on Wireless, Channel and SSID - should be someplace there on or disable ( all 3 I worked on were on by default) change the SSID if you want ( name of network) you may have to change the channel to 6 as well, some devices dont like other channels - then under Encryption , set the security level - just be careful if you set it to high some pc/s laptops wont connect or work - out of the 3 I worked on today all 3 required WEP128 anything higher and it was a no go. (two of the places had brand new laptops) Apply changes as you go. Suggestion - try the wireless without any security first, that way it makes sure its actually working - then apply the security. |
