How do I change my wep

help me!!
I have an old wireless router befw11s4 version4
I replaced this one with an 802.11G router.
Problem is that I decide ti use the old one at a different location and when I went to get online on the secured network that I created, I do not remember my wep??
I have searched this site for help but I have not found out how to change it /unsecure it/whatever has to be done to get online

Hardwire a PC directly to the BEFW11S4 and open up internet explorer and type on the address bar the numbers 192.168.1.1 (username just leave it blank, password as a default is admin)...
It could either be 2 things...
If the page's main outer background is BLACK:
- near the lower part of the screen, look for WEP key settings, click on it and copy down whatever is written down on key 1, that is your WEP key
If the page's main outer background is WHITE
- go to the wireless tab
- go to wireless security
- copy down key 1, that is again your WEP key.....

How do I change my WEP password?

Hi Everyone,
I let my next door neighbor use my internet for 2 weeks while he waiting for his to be installed.
To do this I gave him my current password.
How do I change it to something else now? I would like to make sure he actually got his own net and is not using mine anymore.
I'm a little confused how to do this easily. There are system preferences and a few airport utility programs.
Can someone tell me the very simple answer.
Also... my password seems to be a long string of charachters but I think the password I gave him was something I made up myself... Im confused.
Thanks very much for any of your answers.

Help? Can I change my WEP key on my router?

Hi All...
I'm a newbie to these forums and I have a question... Can I change my WEP key on my FiOS wireless router? (Actiontec MI424-WR Rev. D)
My neighbor, who also watches our dog when we go on holiday, has been using my internet from his house. He freely admitted this. My FiOS is much faster than his throttled Comcast and since he's a power user (torrents) he frequently uses my internet connection for all his massive downloads. His usage knocks me off PS3 and noticeably slows my internet speeds down.
I know he has my IP and WEP since he spends weeks at a time in my house. I'd like to change my WEP key and keep it hidden from him.
How can I kick him off and prevent him from hopping back on?
Thanks in advance.
Emma

Well... theft of services issues aside since what your neighbor is doing is illegal ...
I agree with Justin. Go with a WPA2 connection and use a reasonably long and complex password. I'd change the SSID as well although that's not absolutely required. Also make sure you change the userid/password on the router as well in case they know it. Don't get wrapped up in hiding the SSID or turning on Mac authentication -- while they don't necessarily hurt, they don't add anything appreciable to the equation and just make your own life more difficult.
Now ... I'm going ask, are you even using the the wireless at all? Perhaps you are using a hardwired PC to the router and really don't need the wireless? If so, just go into the router and turn the wireless off. Your neighbor can't steal what isn't there.
Oh ... and it might be time to get the key back and find a new dog sitter.

Help! I just downloaded IOS 7, and had to download from itunes...however ow whe nI put in my password for my wifi connection...it doesn't accept it....how do I change the password? How do I access my wifi connection again????

Please give me simple directions to reset a password to m wifi choice...since I downloaded the new updates for IOS7, yesterday! My ipad was frozen, had to go to Itunes to restore it, after it was restored, I went to go on my wifi .....and it won't accept my password...nor will it allow me to make up a new psassword....now what do I do??

The correct password is printed on the route's label.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

How do I change FiOS router's SSID & password?

FiOS installed today. Default SSID & password too cumbersome. How do I change? Thanks.

Well, you just log into the router and you change them
The actual procedure depends on which router you have, the Actiontec or the Westel. I have an Actiontec, the basic procedure would be:
1) Access the router with your browser: 192.168.1.1
2) Log into the router: User Name = admin and password = password1 (this is the usual value the Verizon Tech sets. If this doesn't work you probably need to hold the reset button on the back of the router to set it back to the default, then the name will still be admin but the password will be password)
3) On the initial page after login there is an option to change the name and password in the lower left of the screen.
4) To change the SSID, click on the Wireless Settings box near the top of the screen, then Basic Security Settings on the left side, change the SSID, then scroll down and click Apply.
I don't know the procedure for the Westel router.
While you are at it, I highly recommend you consider changing from WEP encryption to at least WPA - stronger encryption, less likely to be broken, although WPA is not totally secure by any means.
I hope you enjoy FiOS TV, I do.

How to re-set up WEP security on a WRT100

I'm visiting at my aunt's house and her Linksys was not working properly, so I reset it to factory default, and it's working now, except now I cannot seem to find the how-to page on how to set up the WEP security again (or another security variation...whatever is appropriate now for a home-based router). Can someone sent me the url for instructions on how to do this? And is it crazy to try doing this without an ethernet cable connecting the laptop to her router? Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

For you to be able to set up the security, it is imperative that you connect a cable from a computer to the router. But this is just temporary unless you are finished changing all the settings. You can do it wirelessly, but you will have to re-login again and again to the set up page because you will be disconnected every time you change a setting. Please refer to the link below:

If I chose the wrong folder as defaulf for downloads to go to, how can I change it?

I use download manager. I hit '''yes''' when asked if I wanted to make the folder shown as the default for future downloads of that type. I did not mean to do that. How can I change the default folder?

Hi belladonna82,
You should take a look at the [[Downloads window]] and [[Options window - General panel]] Knowledge Base articles. They will give you all the details you need. Unless you are talking about the default action and not the actual download folder? If so, you should look at [[Options window - Applications panel]].
Hopefully this helps!

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

I have been sharing an apple ID and icloud with other family members. How do I change my iphone so as to create my own account?

I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?

If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account. To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone. Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

How can I change the default "from" email account on my iPad/iPhone in IOS 8.2?

I currently use my phone & pad for business and personal use. My emails should come from my business account but they're coming from my Yahoo account. How can I change it without having to manually change each email? I've checked online but I don't see settings/mail,contacts,calendars/default account in this new revision of software.
Thanks!

Hi bschmidt0726,
Go to "Setting"; scroll down to the 4th box for "iCloud"; You need to turn on you "Mail" option in the "iCloud" settings.
Then,
Go into "Settings", scroll down to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars"; on the left panel, scroll down to the 4th box; there you'll find the "Default Account" settings.

If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

How can I change an english/american keyboard to a danish one on a Macbook Air?

Apple menu / System Preferences / Keyboard / Input sources.
Click + (bottom left) and in the pane that comes up, select Danish on the left, and click Add.
Of course that can only change what the keys actually input, not what is written on the keys. If you wish to change the physical look of the keys as well, get in touch with Apple and ask if they can replace the keyboard.

ChrisJ4203,
Thank you for the help. Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID. I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone. In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one. My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID. Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.
