How to secure Linksys wireless
router with a password?
Linksys smart wi-fi comes with a setup disc that
walks users through the steps required to
configure a network of interconnected
workstations confined to a small area. After
establishing the network, you should assign a
password to the router and to the network,
preventing unauthorized users from signing on
and potentially intercepting your organization's
confidential data. Open a Web browser, type
"192.168.1.1" (without the quotes) into the
address field and press "Enter." Type "admin"
into the Password field. Leave the User Name
field blank. Click "OK." Select "Administration"
from the main menu. Enter a new password into the
Router Password field and re-enter it in the
confirmation field. Click "Save Settings" to
assign a password to the Linksys router. Click
"Wireless" and select "Wireless Security." Select
the "Security Mode" drop-down menu and choose
"WPA2-Personal." Create a secure passphrase. All
workstations connecting to the network will need
to enter this passphrase when logging in for the
first time. Click "Save Settings" to assign a
password to the network. Source
