How do i Password Protect my wireless internet through my linksys router?

I have had this linksys router for about 2 years now and all this time the wireless internet has been open, but now i want to lock it using a password so its not free to anyone. How do i do that without reinstalling the whole router?|||1) With your web browser log into 192.168.1.1 -- the username is admin and the password is either admin or just leave it blank (no password).


2) Click on the Wireless tab


3) Click on Wireless Security


4) Chose a Security Mode (WEP, WPA, etc,,) (WPA is more secure)


5) At this point you can enter a password/shared key


6) Put the same password/key in your wireless setup on your computer.|||First, use WEP2 encryption. WEP can be cracked in a minute or so.





You don't need anything from the disk that these routers come with. Everything can be easily done from the browser.
