How do I install linksys router
Hi there, and welcome to
FixYa
Connect the pc with a cable to
any of the four LAN connections on the back of the router.
DO SET THE ADMIN password as
the first thing you do.
goto -> administration
-> management, fill out the router password and reenter it to confirm.
Give your network a name
(SSID) so that you can find yours if there is more around you. Network name are
called SSID, short for service set identifier
goto -> wireless -> basic wireless settings, Wireless
Network Mode : set to mixed,
Wireless Network Name (SSID), set a name well known to you, NOT
your address :-)
now set the Wireless Channel : to any other than channel 6, which is the
one everybody use. Too much electrical noise might interfere with your transmitting.
Now, go to Wireless -> Wireless
connection, to set the Encryption security settings.
Set security mode to WEP,
Set the Transmit key to
your choice, if you know that you wireless card has 4 keys as well, I would use
key 4.
Set WEP encryption to: 128
bit 26 hex digits.
Go down to key 4,
and find combination of numbers and the letters a,
b, c, d, e or f.
(ex.
414243444546474849404a4b4c) = 26 hex digits.
Save settings.
Now, before you leave, WRITE
DOWN your SSID, your password and key
4 with your settings, as you need to set your wireless
card with the same settings.
Start -> settings -> network and
right click your wireless connection and click properties.
At the top, choose Wireless
network, find your network, (your SSID) choose properties and
set these settings as you wrote down from the router.
Now, remove the cable and
logon wireless.
