How do I set up my wireless router for a secure connection

I lost my password to access my router. I reset  the router to added a wireless printer and I now I'm trying to secure the connection. I have tried 192.168.1.1 IP address, but it takes me to Bing.com. I can't get to the login page to type in the admin password.

First of all do not use the Wireless computer to access the Router's setup page.Use the wired computer.Check the ip address you are getting from the router..Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Ethernet Adapter Local Area Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then,adjust Browser Settings... Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on OK...Close the IE and re-open it...
Now try.......

  • How do I set up a new router for my macbook?

    I am living in South Korea and recently just bought a new unicorn router. I followed all of the instructions. I went to the IP address that it listed, typed in all of my IP information that was on my mac and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks

    Typically unless you're using a static IP you shouldn't need to type that information in.  It sounds like that may actually be the problem and you might want to see if there are separate instructions to set it up dynamically.  Maybe if you can get us screenshots we can look at the settings you have for you.  Also, is this connecting wirelessly only or are you connected through ethernet?

  • Best Wireless Router For British Telecom Connection...?

    Can anybody recommend/advise on the best wireless router to suit an Apple Macbook?
    TIA

    Again. Apple (for whatever reason) doesn't make country specific devices generally with a few expections. Your MacBook in the UK is like my MacBook in the US. Same with Time Capsule. It's the same everywhere. I just don't think (and I'm speculating which is sort of a no-no) they want to open a can of worms and have multiple configurations of a device that can be handled locally from your ISP. Your ISP provides the modem, you plug it in to Time Capsule and that's that. However if you bought a Apple Time Capsule in the UK I certainly couldn't use it with the modem built in. One I don't need a modem and two it's unlikely to work.
    You're correct though I guess it would be nice to have an all in one solution but I doubt you'll get a Time Capsule to do it.
    Good luck anyway!! If I hadn't just bought an Airport Extreme I would've gotten Time Capsule as well.
    Have a good one.

  • Using wireless router for Playstation Portable connection

    I've had my PSP for a little while now and I mainly use it for it's internet feature. I've been using my router (with wireless connection) for my laptops for years and so things have been completely fine logging onto the internet with my PSP. I recently downloaded an update for my PSP and the internet connection started to slow down A LOT. Now, I can't connect to the internet at all. I know some people may say to contact Sony about this, but I'm sure Sony's first response would be to contact my router manufacturer. Does anyone know what I can do?
    My model number is WRT150 V1.1 and I heard that it may have to do with the MAC address for my PSP but I cannot find ANYWHERE in the setting for my router where I can allow a certain MAC address permission to use the wireless network. 
    If anyone knows anything, please share. Thank you!

    To enable MAC Address Filtering follow the link here , the link will only give you screenshots to find the MAC Address of an Ethernet Adapter Wireless Network Connection and not for a play Station...
    If you know the MAC add of your PSPyou can follow the link from where it says "Permitting Wireless PC from Accessing Your Network"

  • HT5312 how do i set up a rescue email for my security questions?

    i have recently forgot the answers to my security questions and there is the option to reset them with a rescue email, which i dont think i have. does anybody know how to set one up?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include going to support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html.
    Setting up a rescue email requires correctly answering two of the questions.

    I have not been able to make purchases in the Apple Store because it asks for answers to security questions. I have forgotten those answers, therefore unable to access my account. It says to make a rescue email, but does not lead me to the right areas. What  should I do?

  • How do I set up a wireless network at home??

    Hi,
    I am new to Mac's. I want to set up a wireless network at home, but I have not got a clue about AirPort, what it is or what it does!?! I am getting a new Mac, but my wife is currently using a Dell Windows laptop and our daughter is using a Windows PC. How do I set up a wireless broadband network at home which works with my Mac and my familys PC's? What do I need to buy and what do I need to do with them? I already have a broadband connection at home. Currently, my wife's PC is connected directly to the broadband modem (via an ethernet cable) that was supplied by the brodband company when I signed up to broadband.
    Thanks for all your help with this.

    scooter has provided links to Apple's pages for the AirPort Express and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS).
    Both of these devices are IEEE 802.11g wireless routers (also called base stations). If you have an Ethernet connection to the Internet (for example DSL or cable modem), you can connect either of these devices directly to that connection and create a wireless network. Since Ethernet and IEEE 802.11g are worldwide standards you can connect any compatible device (including PCs running Windows).
    Every computer needs a unique IP address. You can think of an IP address as a street address for your house. A unique address guarantees that items addressed to you get to you.
    Typically ISPs provide users with a single (one) public IP address. A public IP address is visible to anyone on the Internet. A router uses the single IP address provided by the ISP and creates multiple local (non-public) IP addresses for you computers. This allows you to use multiple computers.
    If you need to connect both wireless and Ethernet computers you will need the AEBS. The AEBS provides a separate LAN port for Ethernet computers.
    BTW, you can accomplish the same thing with any inexpensive wireless router.
    The advantage of the AEBS over other routers is (a) built-in 56k modem for connecting to a dial-up ISP and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.
    The advantage of the AirPort Express over other routers is (a) sound output port for streaming music to a stereo and (b) USB port for a single compatible printer.

  • How do i set up my hp c4360 for wireless if the printer is already installed???

    hi
    How do I set up my hp c4360 photosmart for wireless, asi tis already installed on my Dell laptp xps,
    I put the installation disc in and it says printer already installed, I have a linksys wireless router
     I didnt have the patience to figure this out but its getting to be a pain to drag the laptop to the printer every time I need something printed. I am not real savvy with technical things, the Comcast guy setup my wireless router for me so i am hopin this won't be too complicated
    thanks

    Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address.
    1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
    4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
    5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
    6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
    7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
    8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
    9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
    10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
    11. Click "Next"
    12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

    For the Internet, you should set up a router on your modem, this router will route the packets to any device on the local area network.
    If you use the iMac as a router, like if you connect the Ethernet cable from your modem to the iMac, then broadcast a Wifi signal, the iMac will have to remain on all the time, at full power. Thus drastically shortening it's lifespand.
    A router is only about $100 or so, offers much better security as it's like a large guard, someone has to hack through router first to get your iMac or other devices.
    If it breaks, you buy another 5 years later for another $100, so your not placing all that always on wear and tear on your expensive iMac.
    Apple's airport routers are pretty good, easy to set up and have automatic firmware updates, plus music sharing etc.
    Set up properly you will be very secure

  • Using macbook as a wireless router for non-apple devices

    im trying to use my mac as wireless router for my xbox. i went into share under system preferences, and made a network with a WEP password. I can see the network on my xbox but it requires an IP adress...
    i guess what im really asking is, if the mac can automatically assign IP adresses to devices on the network

    I use my MBP regularly to share internet connection with PCs. Usually the PCs do a 'search' for a network and then 'connect' to the network name set in the Airport options... drop down panel. They get the IP automatically.
    In the system preferences>share> there is a button on the right bottom which says 'airport options..' and in the drop down panel, you set the name or SSID and the WEP key.
    Maybe you should check XBOX settings if the network settings are manual or automatic?
    Hope that helps.
