What would happen if I reset my LinkSys router?

If I reset my LinkSys router, would I need to do some reconfiguring on my family's 3 laptops? Or is it just, press reset for 30 seconds, then done; the internet is still going to the laptops?|||What wil happen is the router will be reset to its factory default settings - default password, no encryption, etc. It will work with the laptops as all routers do with the factory settings, but it is not safe to run that way for long.





Someone will borrow your wireless from the street and do some kiddie porn or spam using your internet connection. Guess whose door the FBI will be knocking on?





Tuen on the encryption, and reset the admin. password to something only you know.





The linksys site has the details|||It will go back to factory defaults, so you have to set up your SSID and password if you have one. Run the installation like you did when it was new.
