Steps for securing your wireless router
- Open Microsoft Internet Explorer and type in the address to configure your router, as described in your router’s instruction manual.
- The address and password you use will vary depending on what type of router you have, so refer to the instructions included with your router.
- Tip: As a quick reference, this table shows the default addresses, user names, and passwords for some common router manufacturers.
- If you cannot log into the router using these specs you will need to see what your default gateway is. To do this you will need to go to: start/run and type in cmd. Once the command prompt is up you will need to type in ipconfig/all. This will give you your information on your default gateway. Once you have that number you will type that into your browser window to bring up your wireless router properties.
WPA is the safest way to secure your wireless router down. To get to this screen you will need to log into your router as above and then go to the wireless tab the wireless security. The first box should be WPA Personal. The next box should be TKIP. The third box will be the WPA Shared Key or password-passphrase as I call it. Put it in here and remember to write it down somewhere. The group key renewal will default at 3600 seconds. Let that one as is.
The exact steps you follow will vary depending on the type of router you have. After each configuration setting (SSID, WPA and administrative password), be sure you click Save Settings, Apply, or OK to save your changes.
Note: The pictures in this section show Linksys wireless equipment. Equipment from other manufacturers will vary in appearance. For example, to save your settings in Linksys, you click Save Settings. Other equipment may have a different display, and you may have to click Apply or OK.SSID or naming your network
A service set identifier, or SSID, identifies your network. Choose a unique name that you’re confident none of your neighbors will use, but don’t specify your name or your address. This is not a security tool, so you don’t need to make the SSID complex.
Protecting your wireless network
Help prevent uninvited guests from connecting to your wireless network.Administrative password
The last configuration change you should make is to the administrative password. Just like any other password, the administrative password should not be a word you can find in the dictionary, and it should be a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Be sure you can remember this password, because you’ll need it if you ever have to change your router’s settings.Tip: Write down your passwords on a piece of paper and store them in your home safe if you have one. If you don’t have a home safe, store your passwords with your other important family documents. If you think of your passwords as important documents, you’ll always know where to find them.
Now that you have configured your wireless router, named your wireless network, protected it, and assigned an administrative password, you are ready for the last step:
