How do i know my router wifi is locked?
when I got my router I was not told to lock it and someone was hacking it. I stopped using it and after a few months I am trying to connect it up. I went online and did what it said, but how can I be...
The Wi-Fi password is on the same screen where you select the Wireless Security Options. Pick WPA2-PSK [AES] and a new option will appear to enter the Wi-Fi password.
It's a little fuzzy, but you can see an example at this link (it's for the WNR1000v3, but it should be the same as your model). Look for Passphrase. That's where you enter your Wi-Fi password.

Thank you. I am confused about the passwords. Where do I go to make the wifi password? I have only set up one password and that was the one that said user admin and password password. I went in and changed that password.
