Question

how do you make a wireless network secure?

Answer 1

padlock

Answer 2

You need to control the wireless router and enable wpa 128 bit encryption. Use a passcode. Then disable SSID broadcast.

Then use the same passcode to connect your PC.

Answer 3

You have to configure the wireless router(s) to use their internal security protocols. There are different protocols available, WEP being one of them. The documentation that comes with the router will describe how to set this up.

Answer 4

I think you maybe use the rauter packet filter to control your wireless network

Answer 5

Hi, this is usually done by setting up your wep key. This is the easiest at least.

In order to configure your router, open a browser and type in 192.168.1.1(in the address bar).

This will allow you to do what you need.

hope that helps
