How do I setup security on my Linksys router without the cd?

How can I setup my Linksys router to where no one can steal my internet? I have no cd, and I tried typing admin and password (in multiple ways) already, and it never logs me into the router? Please jhlp...|||The login to most Linksys routers (usually IP address 192.168.1.1), is a blank username and "admin" (without the "'s) as the password. Here are some security steps I recommend.





Because routers differ as to details, I can't be specific about how to accomplish these actions, but they're almost all done from within the router's administration web pages. Note: It鈥檚 best to do them from a computer cabled (even just temporarily) to the router rather than wirelessly, especially since wireless administration will be deactivated by action #1.





Generally, to access your router鈥檚 administration pages, hook up a computer directly to the router and enter the router鈥檚 local IP address into a browser鈥檚 address window. See way below for details on finding your router's IP address.





1. Deactivate wireless access to your router's administration web pages so only a computer connected via an Ethernet cable can reach them. This won鈥檛 affect wireless use of the Internet, just wireless administration of the router. Even if you don鈥檛 want to leave a computer connected via a cable, leave the cable there for when you need it.





2. Turn off the SSID (network name) broadcast from the router. There's no need to advertise your network's presence. You're not running a hotspot; everyone who should be on your network should know its name.





3. Change your SSID from the default. Hackers know that routers come with default SSIDs and look for them. Even if the SSID isn't being broadcast, if a hacker knows its name, they can hop on board.





4. Set up encryption with an encryption key. The longer, the better. WPA (if your network and all your computers can support 802.11G) is better than WEP. WEP is better than nothing. Each of your wireless computers and devices will need this encryption key. Wired computers will not.





5. (Optional) Limit access to only the computers you want on the network via MAC filtering. (MAC refers to unique NIC (Network Interface Card) addresses, not Macintosh computers, and not IP addresses.) This isn't a defense against hardcore freeloaders -- it's possible to fake MAC addresses -- but it keeps out casual interlopers.





6. (Optional and only partially effective) Change the range of and/or limit the number of automatically assigned IP addresses (DHCP) to reduce the chance of extra users. Again, hackers know what ranges routers come from the factory with. Changing them makes it a little harder to hop on board.





Here鈥檚 how to find your router鈥檚 IP address:





1. Click on the Start-%26gt;Run button.


2. In the text box, type





cmd





and press Enter.





3. A black "DOS box" will pop up. In it, enter





ipconfig /all





A bunch of gibberish will fill the box. Next to "Default Gateway" an IP address will appear. This is your router's IP address.





That should go far toward hardening your wireless network.|||You can access router through its IP, which you can find it in Command Prompt after writing "ipconfig" it will like this "192.168.0.1" etc.





Reset your router for change admin id/password.





Tip for Reset router, there is small whole on the back of router, insert pin/pen nib etc and hold for 20 sec approximately until the whole lights going off of the router, after that go to the local IP and start setup for configuration.|||I had this problem earlier. Have you tried going into their website support section, this will probably help you setting up a password for your router.
