How do I lock my router with a password?

Having trouble finding out how to keep unwanted people from using my internet. Thanks for any help

Secure your wireless.
Log on to your router and click on wireless tab.  Change the ssid to something other than Linksys example: Newfie.  Click on Save.  Now click on wireless Security.  Set Security mode to WPA Personal.  Set Algorimths to AES. Set passphrase in WPA Share key Examble 1a2b3c4d.
Now go to the computer with a wireless adaptor.  Click on view wireless network  You will see your network.  Example Newfie Secured network click on your network.  It will asks for the key use the passphrase you setup in your router.

  • How do i lock one folder with a password? just one folder individually.

    thanks

    The Finder does not let you revoke both read and write permission from yourself, but you can revoke read permission from the GUI. Otherwise you have to use Terminal.
    Get Info on your folder
    Under sharing and permissions change privilege to "No Access" for Group & Everyone (probably labeled "Staff" & "Everyone"). Change the permission to Write Only for "Me".
    Click the lock to prevent changes.
    Now nobody can view the contents of that folder without your account password.
    To open the folder get info again, click the lock in the lower right corner, enter your password then change the "Me" permission to Read & Write.

  • How To Use Your Own Router with Out Loosing Verizon's FIOS Services

    How to use your own router with Verizon’s FIOS Service
    First, you need a basic understanding of how FIOS works but unfortunately there are two types of FIOS systems out there. All of the systems utilize a fiber optic cable to bring TV, phone and internet to your location over one optic cable. In addition these systems provide interactivity including widgets, remote DVR, movies on demand and so forth via an IP (Internet Protocol) signal.  Your STB (Set Tip Box) requires both a video and IP signal. The IP signal is necessary for all of the aforementioned interactivity.  The fiber cable terminates at the Optical Network Terminal or ONT for short.  The ONT converts the optics into a digital signal that can be utilized by ones equipment.  From the ONT your video, phone and internet are provided to the location.  This is where things can differ as the internet signal can be provided via a coaxial (MoCA or Multimedia over Coax Alliance) or RJ45 Cat5 (Ethernet) cable.  It is important to identify and understand the differences of these two setups.  In my case I have my internet entering via Ethernet cable, which in my humble opinion makes things a heck of a lot easier.
    How does one tell the difference? In most cases it’s rather simple; just look at the Verizon’s router WAN (Wide Area Network) Port.  Does it have a RJ45 (Ethernet) or Coax (TV cable Cord) going to it? If the router’s WAN port doesn’t have a coaxial connector then one will need to convert the MoCA signal into a usable Ethernet signal that routers understand. The easiest way is to use Verizon’s router as a bridge. In this method the Verizon’s router simply converts the signal and passes it along to your own router. The challenge is to try to maintain the interactivity that FIOS TV provides. Because of this one needs to supply the IP routed signal back to the FIOS router.  There are multiple methods for doing this and I would recommend investigates which one make the most sense.   
    In my particular case the IP signal was provided by Ethernet.  Again there are various ways of installing one’s own router. The hardest is to utilize Verizon’s router as a bridge.  This setup requires configuring Verizon’s router as a bridge and also creating a VLAN (Virtual Local Area Networks). In addition one needs to set up their own router so it will work with the various routing tables and networks. For me this is too complex for the average person and it can be difficult to trouble shoot if something goes wrong. Please consider that Verizon will not support utilizing third party routers.   
    The easier method is to request an Ethernet signal (if you don’t already have one) from their ONT.  I would highly recommend getting your hands on a NIM or Network Interface Module. This device is used to convert Ethernet to Coaxial so it can be fed back to your STBs.  These can be purchased online and Verizon technicians can be a valuable resource with these sorts of acquisition.  At the very least they can point you to the right direction.  Once you have a NIM the rest is rather simple.
    Log into the current Verizon Router.
    Located the router’s MAC address and copy it down.
    Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.
    Look at your current device list, typically found on the home screen. Copy down your STB MAC and IP address.
    Example:
    IP-STB1
    Connection Type: Ethernet
    * IP Address: 192.168.1.100
    IP Address Allocation: DHCP
    *MAC Address:                07:73:fFe:ad:8b:3f
    * Things you will need to write down
    Go to the network section and look for the main Ethernet connection.  Select this and then select more setting, typically found at the bottom. Release the current lease.
    Remove the Verizon router
    Install your router
    Connect the NIM by plugging in an Ethernet from one of the routers LAN (Local Area Network) ports to your NIM. Then connect the coax cable, the same cable that was used by Verizon router.
    Set you DHCP routing IP pool to accommodate Verizon’s STB IP’s  (note their IP’s start at 192.168.1.100)
    Go to DHCP section and reserve the STB IP’s by inserting the IP’s and MAC addresses. This shall ensure that nothing else utilizes the same IPs as the STBs thereby preventing IP address conflict.  
    Add the port forwards from Step 5 above.
    Clone Verizon’s Mac Address utilizing the info from step 2
    Finish setting up the router in typical fashion.
    Unplug and re-plugin your STB’s and test functionality.  It’s best to try using a widget or Movie on demand function.
    Note: if the new router can net get an internet signal contact Verizon’s support and have them release the IP and reset the ONT.  
    EVERYTHING should be working at this point.

     3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
    Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
    whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
    the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
    there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
    however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
    For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
    Why do you clone the mac addr??

  • Locking one partition with a password or protecting it otherwise

    I have an internal HD that is partitioned. Would it be possible to lock one partition with a password or protect it from prying eyes when I let a 'stranger' use my computer? I know I could put a folder on it with TrueCrypt, but since I would only want to occasionally lock the disk, it is not really an option.
    Love to hear.

    Thnaks Király
    Use Finder -> Get Info on the drive to change the permissions on your partition. Set your user account to be the owner, and then set Group and Others to No Access. Then let guests use any other user account than your own.
    Good one had not thought of that. Is however as Thomas said not a optimal solution as there are ways around it.
    Is there a way to make the disk invisible and not accessible? Or have it not mount for certain users?

    Thanks

    By default, Disk Utility has the "Add to Keychain" setting checked on.
    You have to make a new image and turn this funtion off if you want to make sure the video stays private on your computer.
    If you send the video to another computer, the user will have to enter the password.

  • How to re-lock a drive with bitlocker

    I am using windows 7 bitlocker to encrypt a secondary hard drive. So I unlock the drive with the password successfully. Now how do I relock the drive? The only way I can see is to restart the machine. What bothers me is that even if you log off, and log in as another user the drive is still unlocked! Isnt there a menu item or option to re-lock it?-mi

    I made a .cmd-file to re-lock the drives:
    From a cmd-prompt, type the following:
    C:\Windows\system32>copy con lockdrive.cmd
    manage-bde -lock l:
    manage-bde -lock k:
    ^Z     [press CTRL-Z]
            1 file(s) copied.
    Replace l: and/or k: to the corresponding drive letter on your computer.
    Make a shortcut to the lockdrive.cmd-file, and check the "run as administrator" check box.
    Rgs,
    Inge
    That works great, thank you. Some points to clarify for those of us not so advanced in computing. Just to point out I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with UAC turned off. I'm
    not sure if this will work in other versions or with UAC on, I think so but perhaps someone will confirm this.
    To turn off UAC, go to control panel, select 'User Accounts' then your account name, 'Change user account control settings' and select 'Never notify' and reboot. Next navigate
    to 'Control panel / Folder options', click the 'View' tab and move the radio button to 'Show hidden files, folders and drives', then uncheck the 'Hide extensions for known file types' box, Apply, OK and close Control panel. 
    1. It is easier to go to your windows folder, find the System32 folder, put your mouse cursor on it, hold the shift key, right click and select 'Open command prompt here'. That
    way when the DOS window opens you only need to type "copy con lockdrive.cmd" (without the quotes) and press Enter.
    2. Type "manage-bde -lock #:" again without the quotes and replace the "#" with the letter of your bitlocker drive as Inge stated. If you have another drive to lock then repeat
    this line with your other drive letter and press Enter.
    3. Hold 'Ctrl' on your keyboard and press the 'Z' key once, '^Z' will be displayed, press Enter on your keyboard and '1 file(s) copied' will be displayed.
    4. Type "exit" (no quotes) to close the DOS window.
    5. Navigate into this folder 'C:\Windows\System32' and look for the file 'lockdrive.cmd', right click it and select 'create shortcut' a new file called 'lockdrive.cmd shortcut'
    will appear below it. Right click the shortcut file and select 'Cut'.
    6. Navigate to 'C:\Users\*YOUR USERNAME*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs' right click in a blank area of the window where your Accessories and Administrive
    Tools are (being sure not to highlight one of the other files) and select 'Paste'.
    7. Right click the ''lockdrive.cmd shortcut' and select 'Rename' and just call it 'Lockdrive.cmd' and press Enter, then close all windows.
    8. Click 'Start', select 'All Programs' and look for your 'lockdrive.cmd' file. Put your mouse on it, left click and hold the button down. Drag it down to the 'Back' selection which
    was 'All Programs' and wait for the first Start Menu to appear, move your mouse up to a blank area and release the button. If done correctly you should now have 'lockfile.cmd' on your main Start menu. Click it to lock your drive.
    9. Navigate to 'Control panel / Folder options' and on the 'General' tab select 'Restore Defaults' and Apply. Select the 'View' tab and select 'Restore Defaults' and Apply.
    Click 'OK' and you’re done.
    Thanks to Inge for this short and perfect work-around.

  • How apply cgi on Linksys router with safari

    I'm having issues of setting preferences on a Linksys router with Safari and a Mac. Am I missing a setting on Safari to allow cgi?

    I want to set how many users allowed on my small local network. I can use a different browser to accomplish this but would like to use Safari. From time to time I do maintenance on the router and need to access the router preferences. Also at this time trying to trouble shoot the router for not allowing PC's to show up on the network FInder, a completely different problem and off topic.

  • Last update locked my ipad with a password - how do I unlock without restoring?

    My iPad was plugged in - NOT password protected, because I do not have children and my iPad stays at home.  Picked it up to use it yesterday and it is requiring a passcode, which I never set!  VERY frustrated with the security "FEATURES" of the last update.  On another frustrated note...Do not like that I cannot use the same passcode on my iphone either - it required a change and is "helping me" so I don't have a security breach, but it is taking away my rights as a consumer to have the same passcode for YEARS if I really wanted it!  Explain to me how I would teach my MIL with a brain injury to keep changing her passcode too???  Seriously - we should be able to turn this OFF!

    I understand your frustration and your anger due to the fact the the update caused this situation, but unfortunately there is no way to bypass the Passcode without restoring the device.
    If you are that diligent about the way that you use the iPad, I have to assume that you have a current backup as you should. After you restore the iPad, you should be able to restore from the backup becuse the backup should not contain the passcode, if in fact the update did cause this situation. After you restore from the backup and sync with iTunes - if you use iTunes - your iPad should be pretty much back to where it was.
    I am not sure what you are talking about by not being able to use the same Passcode on your phone.

  • Secure wireless router with lost password

    I'm trying to secure our wireless router and not having any success. When I go to the 192.168.1.1 site and type in admin, the screen just pops up again. If I continue, after three tries I get a 404 screen. I'm guessing my husband added a password at some time, but he has no record of it and I've tried all of our passwords that I can think of and none of them work. Is there a way to get past this screen or recover the password somehow? Our network still shows up as unlocked and I'd like to get access to the account and get it locked. Thanks.

    Welcome to Cisco Home Community,
    What is the model number of your Linksys router? In this case, you may need to perform a reset on the router and you will lose all settings saved in it. You'll start from scratch of setting it up again for the internet both wired and wireless to work. Here are the links below that you may help you to get this issue resolve.

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

    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.

  • OS 10.10 how to hide/show a folder with a password using terminal

    In Yosemite 10.10.2 Terminal Can you please tell me how to hide/show with a password then show again on already existing folder created on a system drive and also an external drive. Please provide the path text to folder name "wbfiles". Thank you Winwoodb

    You can drag it from one place on a drive to another.  If you are moving it from one drive to another then it copies it.  If you are moving it on the same drive and are getting that message then not being able to move the folder is the least of your problems.  Free up space immediately because your computer is about to crash and probably lose files.  Then you'll have lots of space.
