| 709623 | 2008-10-03 21:43:00 | Despite searching the Belkin site I can't find any reference to this particular router/modem. I wish to find out if I can restrict access to the router by adding a password, I live in a very confined urban area and neighbours could well be within range of the signal, I have noted a recent increase in usage which I don't believe is coming from me. Any help would, as always, be appreciatted. Alan |

| 709624 | 2008-10-03 22:47:00 | Is it encrypted? Why not turn off the wifi and connect with a cable at least for a few days to see if the usage goes down | gary67 (56) | ||

| 709627 | 2008-10-03 23:32:00 | Find out your IP address: Type [Windows]+[R], then "cmd" and [Enter] Type "ipconfig" and enter Make a note of the IPv4 Address, and type this into a browser (IE, or Firefox) Go to the "security" tab that should have come up, and in "security mode", I suggest you select WPA/WPA2, and choose a password in the "key" section. If you're unsecured, you've almost certainly had other users use your internet. Best you do this soon. |

| 709628 | 2008-10-03 23:55:00 | Thanks for that, I'll have to get someone to translate all that into non geek speak. I can switch it on and off (PC) but don't fancy my chances at anything more technical, fortunately there is a geek in the family. Tah muchly Alan :banana |
