I have a linksys wrt54g wireless router. I have everything working fine, but when i turn on my laptop, it automatically connects. It does not ask for a password. I went through the web based setup, and I input a password, but i must be doing something wrong, as it is not working properly. Does anyone else have a linksys and mind helping me get the password set? Thanks,
let's keep this going, even if it takes a ET village... or two to straight him out http://kimpeacocke.blogspot.com/2006/06/setting-up-linksys-wrt54g-wireless-g.html
thanks nkhoi...that link helped. this is a router i have had for like 4 years, so i no longer have the install cd. i have changed the password for the admin settings, just trying to set a password for people connecting to the signal...
what's wrong with using a google search with keywords like "wrt54g manual?" first link- ftp://ftp.linksys.com/pdf/wrt54g_ug.pdf http://www.google.com/search?q=wrt5...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
The password only protects the router from having its settings changed. Once you set a good password you never need to enter it again unless you want to change some router settings. Usually you can just http to: http://192.168.1.1 When you want to configure your router and skip all those install CDs. (should work on Linksys and Netgear)
