Secure my router again

i have this old router linksys wrt54g v4 and it was once secured i moved and can not afford to get charged to have it secured again i just need a note i can get it secured without help if i knew how to. is there a way or must o wait save up to buy a router that is covered under warrenty to get it secured or should i just throw your product in the garbage and rent one from my internet service provider with out being charged for a question on how to secure a product someone spent 150 bucks on

Connect a computer to the router with the Ethernet cable.
Open the Internet browse and in the address bat=r type http://192.168.1.1 . Log in to the router setup. The default password for Linksys router is admin, leave the user name blank.
Go to Wireless tab and change the name of wireless network. Click on Wireless security sub tab. Change the wireless security mode to WPA and enter the password for your wireless network. Save the settings.
Now try to connect to the new wireless network.

Secured wireless router

G'day. My IT administrator set up my home secured, password enabled wireless network. I have a new notebook, and net IT administrator, and have no idea what the password is. How can I reset this to access my router again?
Thanking you in advance for you assistance.
Kind regards, Nancy.

Locate the reset button. Press and hold for 30 seconds. Wait about a minute for the router to cycle back up.

TS1398 In "Set Up" I try to select our secured WIFi router from the list of available networks. However, it will not allow me to select it. This then prevents me from going to the next step. What do I do?

In "Set Up" I have tried to select our secured WiFi router from the available list shown. It is listed. However, when I try to select it, it will not check off or remain blue when I lift my touch. This then will not allow me to go on to the next step. What do I do to connect to a secure WiFi router? I do know the WEP Key number but there is no place to type then in.

The trial can only be loaded 1 time as far as I know. You could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html, remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, and reboot. Then try an install again, but my guess is you will have to purchase Acrobat at this point.

TS1398 Ipod touch won't and never did connect. Turned off security to router. Went through troubleshooting list. Circle lines seem as if trying to connect. IP adress is obtained. Never does connect in a usable way??????????????????????????????????????????

Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

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.

What is highest security on router that is compatible with iBook clamshell running OS X 10.4.11

I want to have a secure router but i want my iBook Clamshell to be able to connect to it. I have a Netgear N router and a Graphite iBook Clamshell.
Thanks!

Is the Netgear N backward-compatible with the iBook's original AirPort Card (which uses the 802.11b standard)?
The best you can hope to do is WPA encryption. WPA2 is beyond the capability of the original AirPort Card.

Can't find the RESET for rejected security questions, once again

When I log into my iTunes account I'm asked security verification questions & it does not accept my answers. This has happened before when our account was hacked. I do not want to go to the apple store once again! Can anyone tell me where the RESET button is to reset the security questions?

If there isn't one on the dialog box asking for the answers, there's none and you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

Securing My Router

Hi. I recently made a big balls up by announcing to the world that my (apartment block's) router, an 827H, was completely unsecured. I have since removed the default users and passwords and changed the admin/enable password.
Question is what else do I have to do to secure this thing?
Also, I am concerned that it may have already been compromised. Who knows how long it has been unsecure, and my announcement of the fact probably didnt help. Is there any way to check if anything malicious has been done to it?
Total noob at this, so details would help.
Thanks.

Router turns security on for no reason

I have a BEFW11S4 V2 router, with latest firmware, and no security set up in a household of one wired wesktop and four laptops (including an additional WUSB11S4 v2 connected new HP desktop)
For no reason I can see, it sometimes turns its security on, not allowing additional wireless access. If any of the original laptops are disconnected, they can't reconnect either.
The router security turns off and goes back to normal when all PCs , Cable Modem and Router are turned turned off and on again.
Thx Steve

Why do you think that your router is suddenly getting "wireless security" turned on?
Since you run an unsecured wireless network, perhaps your neighbor is playing tricks on you! Teens love to do this. They get on your network, guess your password (is it still admin? or something else that is easy to guess?), then log into your router, and boot everybody off!
Alternatively, you could be loosing connection simply because your unsecured computers are getting confused, and trying to connect to a neighbor's unsecured network. Let me guess - your SSID is still "linksys". Am I right?
Another possibility is that your neighbors' networks, or your own 2.4 GHz devices, are interfering with your wireless signal. This would include wireless 2.4 GHz phones, Bluetooth, wireless baby monitors, wireless mice or keyboards, microwave ovens, etc.
At a minimum, you need to assign your network a unique SSID, and secure your router login with at least a 12 random character password. Unless you live far (at least 1000 feet) from your neighbors, and far from public roads, you also need to set up wireless security. If you can, change the channel that the router is using. Channel 1, 6, or 11 usually work the best. Also, unplug any wireless 2.4 GHz devices that you have (other than your network devices), and see if that corrects your problem.
Actually, to set up wireless security correctly, you will need a new router.
From the user guide, it looks like your current router can only do WEP. WEP can be broken in less than 5 minutes, using software tools that are available over the internet. You really need to be using WPA or preferably WPA2.
If you don't get a new router, and if nothing above fixes your problem, then you should update your firmware to the latest version.
Hope this helps.

HomeHub2 as Modem with Third Party Router, Securit...

okay i've configured my Homehub to be set as a Router and conencted a Belkin G Plus Mimo router as the third party router, connection and everything is fine but theres on problem...
security, there is no scurity protecting my wireless network which means everyone can access my network which is bad.
when i try accessing the third party router (belkin router) i'm forwarded to the BT home hub control panel page...
any help? i need protection on my wireless!
Kind Regards, Bert

Hi Bert,
What you will need to do is manually change your Network Adaptor to an address in the 192.168.2.2-255 range. Set the gateway to 192.168.2.1 and try and access your third party router again. Then enable the DHCP Server on the LAN interface of your Belkin router.
Don't forget that you have to be connecting through your Belkin router in order to use it properly like Computer - Belkin - Homehub, not Computer - Hub - Belkin otherwise it will just ignore the additional router (Belkin).
You will also need to add a Static Route on the Belkin and set the Destination network to 192.168.1.0/24 and set the gateway to 192.168.1.254 in order to access the internet and Homehub. This will need to be set on the WAN interface.
I hope this helps.

Router BEFW11S4 v2 Wireless Security Becomes Disabled

Hello: I have a BEFW11S4 router. I recently enabled the wireless security on it. I used WEP with a passphrase. Everything went fine. I was able to connect with the key. The problem is that when I came back later, the wireless security was disabled again. So, I enabled it again. I came back a little later and it was disabled yet again. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

make sure that the router has the latest firmware....if not , upgrade it...after the upgrade, reset and reconfigure the router...

MY EA4500 router will not connect to my network when initially setting it up again.

I have had my Linksys EA4500 for about a year now. When I first set it up back in January of last year, no problem! Then, in June of last year, I changed internet services for a cheaper price. So then, I didn't need my Linksys router, since the other service provided one! Then, this month, I went back to the original internet service from before. So, I hooked up my EA4500 router again!
But, I started to get dropped wireless interent service! I called the internet provider, but of course, they said that it wasn't because of their modem! So, I uninstalled the EA4500 software from my laptop and tried to reinstall the software from the router disc. thinking that this might solve the problem! But now, when I go to reinstall the software, it gets to the part, where it tries to connect to the internet, I put in the password for the router, it states that it can't connect to the internet and to go to Linksys support for assistance!?!
What's even odd, is that even though I removed the router software from my computer, so as to reinstall it, I checked my wireless connections and the router name is still showing and connected to the internet!?!
FYI, if instead of putting in the router password, when it tries to connect to the internet, maybe try the modem password instead?

Hello mandrake44,
It looks like you're router needs a hard reset and reconfiguration. I suggest setting the EA4500 up manually (don't use the setup CD). Do a hard reset first by pressing on the reset button of the EA4500 for 1 full minute. ONce you're done, follow the instructions on how to manually reconfigure it:
1. Hardwire the computer to the Ethernet port of the EA4500.
2. Open a browser and access the EA4500's page by typing 192.168.1.1.
3. The EA4500's default username and password is admin. Username: admin; Password: admin
4. Once the page is up, click on OK on the pop-up warning (if any).
5. Under Setup > Basic Setup, Internet Connection Type should be Automatic Configuration - DHCP. Don't change other settings on this page.
6. Still on Setup, go to MAC Address Clone, click on Enabled and click on Clone My PC's MAC. Click on Save Settings and then on theContinue tab. It's going to revert back to the same page.
7. Click on Wireless. Under Basic Wireless Settings, click on Manual.
8. On 2.4 GHz Wireless Settings, set Network Mode to Mixed.
9. Network Name should be your personalized name (your preference).
10. Set the Channel to 6-2.437 GHz. SSID Broadcast should be Enabled. Click on Save Settings and then on the Continue tab. It's going to revert back to the same page.
11. Under Wireless > Wireless Security, set the Security Mode to WPA2 Personal.
12. You can do the same for the 5.0 GHz band (network). Change the wireless channel to 44-5.220 GHz. Security Mode would still be WPA2 Personal
12. Passphrase should be your personalized wireless password (your preference). Remember that wireless passwords should be at least 8 characters long without any spaces or special characters (only alphabets and numbers). Click on Save Settings and then on the Continue tab. It's going to revert back to the same page.
13. Reboot (turn it off and on) the router.
14. Once the router is back up, try connecting the wireless devices to your network.
Update us of any developments.

Branch office setup with L3 switch and router with IOS security

Hello,
I am in the process of putting together a small branch office network and I am in need of some design advise. The network will support about 10-15 workstations/phones, 3-4 printers, and 4-5 servers. In addition we will eventually have up to 25-30 remote users connecting to the servers via remote access VPN, and there will also be 2-3 site-to-site IPSec tunnels to reach other branches.
I have a 2911 (security bundle) router and 3560 IP Base L3 switch to work with. I have attached a basic diagram of my topology. My initial design plan for the network was to setup separate VLANs for workstation, phone, printer, and server traffic. The 3560 would then be setup with SVIs to perform routing between VLANs. The port between the router and switch would be setup as a routed port, and static routes would be applied on the switch and router as necessary. The thought behind this was that I'd be utilizing the switch backplane for VLAN routing instead instead of doing router-on-a-stick.
Since there is no firewall between the switch and router my plan was to setup IOS firewalling on the router. From what I am reading ZBF is my best option for this. What I was hoping for was a way to set custom policies for each VLAN, but it seems that zones are applied per interface. Since the interface between the router and switch is a routed interface, not a trunk/subinterface(s), it doesn't seem like there would be a way for me to use ZBF to control traffic on different VLANs. From what I am gathering I would have to group all of my internal network into one zone, or I would have to scrap L3 switching all together and do router-on-a-stick if I want to be able to set separate policies for each VLAN. Am I correct in my thinking here?
I guess what I am getting at is that I really don't want to do router-on-a-stick if I have a nice switch backplane to do all of the internal routing. At the same time I obviously need some kind of firewalling done on the router, and since different VLANs have different security requirements the firewalling needs to be fairly granular.
If I am indeed correct in the above thinking what would be the best solution for my scenario? That is, how can I setup this network so that I am utilizing the switch to do L3 routing while also leveraging the firewall capabilities of IOS security?
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Austin

Thanks for the input.
1. I agree, since I have only three to four printers, they need not be in a separate VLAN. I simply was compartmentalizing VLANs by function when I initially came up with the design.
2. Here's a little more info on the phone situation. The phones are VoIP. The IP PBX is on premise, but they are currently on a completely separate ISP/network. The goal in the future is to converge the data and voice networks and setup PBR/route maps to route voice traffic out the voice ISP and data traffic out the other ISP. This leads up to #3.
3. The reason a router was purchased over a firewall was that ASA's cannot handle routing and dual ISPs very well. PBR is not supported at all on an ASA, and dual ISPs can only be setup in an active/standby state. Also, an ASA Sec+ does not have near the VPN capabilities that the 2911 security does. The ASA Sec+ would support only 25 concurrent IPSec connections while the 2911 security is capable of doing an upwards of 200 IPSec connections.
Your point about moving the SVI's to a firewall to perform filtering between VLANs makes sense, however, wouldn't this be the same thing as creating subinterfaces on a router? In both cases you are moving routing from the switch backplane to the firewall/routing device, which is what I am trying to avoid.
