In order to update your router’s security settings follow these easy steps:
Step1 (Log in to your router)
To log in to your router run Internet Explorer (or your default browser) and enter the IP address of your router in the address bar and hit Enter. To find your IP address in Windows press the windows key and the key “R” at the same time. In the new window, type “cmd” and hit Enter, then type “ipconfig” and hit Enter. Now, under “Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network settings” you should have Default Gateway followed by an array of numbers devided in 4 groups by dots. That is your router’s IP.
Step2 (Login)
After hitting Enter, you will see a login prompt appear on your screen.
Login by using following password in the prompt box.
Password: 1234
Step3 (Wireless Settings)
Hide SSID Settings
To hide your router’s SSID, go to General > Wireless Setup. This will display the Wireless Settings where you can configure your wireless network. First, type in the name of your wireless network in the SSID box. To hide the SSID (Service Set Identification) check the radio button next to the Hide SSID option. This will hide your wireless network from the clients searching for wireless connections and thereby protect your network from hackers.
To make your wireless network safe, you should select the appropriate security option.
To do so, go to General > Wireless Setup > Security.
This router supports WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA-PSK (Pre Shared Key) and WPA2-PSK (Pre Shared Key). Each one is more secure than the previous one listed.
It is recommended to use WPA2-PSK (Wi Fi Protected Access 2 – Pre-Shared Key).
WPA2-PSK
In order to set WPA2-PSK as your security mode, select it from the drop-down menu and then type in your desired password in the “Pre-Shared Key” box. To save your settings click Apply.
Well done! You have now secured your router!
