How do you enable a password for a Linksys Broadband Router?

Question

I have one so my wife can piggyback off my line but I can't figured out how to make the line secure. I need help because it's driving me nuts.

Answer 1

If you log into your routers configuration, usually bu opening a browser and type in 192.168.0.1, and find the wireless security options. You can enable WEP or WAP security on the router and you will also need to enter a key for security.

Then you will have to enable the same security option and input the key into each computer that wants to connect to the router.

That should do it.....

Answer 2

Do whatever steps the manual recommends.
They've made about 50-60 different models of routers.

Answer 3

Follow the instructions in your broadband router manual to enable WEP.
