setting up secure wireless network using linksys and sbc DSL?

Yes, what about it? Complete sentances are a good thing.\n\nWill assume you mean how do I setup my wireless Linksys router with SBC aDSL so that my wirless network is secure?\n\nWhat Linksys product do you have? What wireless devices do you have and what do they support?\n\nWEP is not secure but better than nothing. MAC address filtering is something else to help stop users from connecting to your network but again it is not secure. For the average home users we setup WPA-PSK with a strong key, turn off SSID broadcasting and MAC filtering if all devices support that.

yes, for that reason you need a wireless router like the linksys WRT54G (GS)\nyou hook then the router to the modem and the Mac to the router. the laptop PC can then be connected to the router wirelessly.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833124136\n\nSetting up the router:\n1. change the password of the router\n2. set up an SSID (any name you want)\n3. disable SSID broadcast\nfor your privacy and security\n4. set up an encryption, either WEP or WPA (this prevent from using your internet connection by your neighbors) and has also to be done on the laptop that is using the wireless connection.\n5. addionally you can set up MAC filtering (this has nothing to do with Mac PCs). this can be done (voluntary) to permit only registered PCs to use a wireless network.

Live and Learn.  Wireless network gear is dodgy at best.   Go with LinkSys next time. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Setting up a Wireless Router is a bit easy to some people but to others there is allot to learn. It all depends what type of Internet connection you have at home whether it is DSL that uses PPOE or Cable Modem that just hooks up directly with no need of a password. Next you will need to choose which vendor you might want to go with when purchasing your Wireless Router. The instructions on setting them up is quite easy, all you have to do is log on to a local web page that is set up on those Router's, input the information from your ISP provider and that is it. Now the fun part begins because you want to make sure you have a secure Wireless Network or else you will be giving out FREE INTERNET access to anybody that lives around your area if your network is not secure. It all comes down to setting up your Wireless with a unique SSID which stands for "service set identifier". All it does it puts a unique that you create for your network once you have done that, you need to continue with a STRONG Encryption Key. Once you have all of this steps setup you just created your Own Private Wireless Network....

Still go with a wireless router, but put a encrypted key on the router so only you have access to it.  I use this set up and it is a great way to share the DSL I have.

You shouldn't use wireless network wizard because it sets network codes (don't worry) and unless your wireless router supports setting from XP it will just mess things up. You are best using the normal Network wizard to set up share folders, printer sharing, Internet and the workgroup settings (This is just a way of making a home network without a central server).\nAlso not linking you computers over the Internet (that would be unsafe and insecure) but over a private network.

easy. access the modem you using and select the security feature. if it's a router open your browser and write 192.168.1.1

You can't go wrong with LinkSys or D-Link.  Between them, they practically own the wireless router market.\n\nAnd they both come with install wizards that walk you through the setup step by step.  It's impossible to mess up.  I know, i tried. :-)

When setting you security you really just need information for configuring your equipment. Best place I find info for configuring wireless hardware and software is the manufacturers web site and dsl reports. http://www.dslreports.com/\nhttp://www.dslreports.com/faq/8698

You can set up the security key  for your wireless network. It's like a password, everyone wants to use your network has to use this key.   \n\n. Because you will need a default password to access this feature, you should check the manual or any provided intruction to help you.

1)  Hook up your router.\n2)  Access the configuration page. It should be accessible by browsing to the 192.168.1.1 address:  (i.e.    http://192.168.1.1). Do this from a computer wired directly to the router.\n3)  Find the wireless configuration and open that page. You should have an option to enable wireless security it. Then select WEP security. Then click GENERATE and let it generate your keys.\n4)  Copy down the first key. Make sure everything on the router is "applied" or "saved".\n\nWireless Computer:\n\n1)  Open the wireless connection and search for available \nnetworks.\n2)  Connect to your network and configure it for AUTOMATIC.\n3)  It shouild ask you for the KEY.  Type it in and it should work. You probably have to type it in twice.

what you wont is call d-link and get the address for the firmware\nand then you need to download the firmware up dates once you do that all you need is to set the wep or wpa on the Router and the SSID, then set the SSID and the wep or wpa in the network settings on your computer.\n\n\nhttp://support.dlink.com/products/view.asp?productid=WBR%2D1310\n\n\n\nHow do I enable WEP encryption on my WBR series router? \n\n WEP is a good security measure to implement on your wireless network to keep intruders out. However, if your wireless adapter supports it WPA is a stronger form of encryption. \n\nYou can find information on configuring your WBR router for WPA-PSK here \n\nStep 1: Open a web browser and type the IP address of the WBR series router into the address bar (default is http://192.168.0.1).\n\nStep 2: The default username is admin (all lower case) and the default password is blank (nothing). Click on OK. \n\nStep 3: Click on the Setup tab at the top and then click on Wireless Settings on the lefthand side.

It depends a lot, but here's the basic requirements and some information to get you going in the right direction. You'll need:\n\n1) a wireless router that is already set up and functioning\n2) physically insert / install the wireless card\n3) either a driver will load automatically for it, or (better option) if you have the drives on floppy / CD etc. install those drivers\n4) if the wireless router is "open" i.e. does not use encryption and the ssid (wireless network unique identifier for your network) has "broadcast" enabled, you should be able to get onto it immediately, though you might have to select the network if more than one is detected\n5) if "broadcast" is disabled, you'll need to manually enter the SSID in your sisters laptop once you have the wireless icon in the system tray in the lower right hand corner. Disabling broadcast "hides" the SSID so you just have to know it and tell the computer what it is the first time. (If you don't know any of this at all, you'll need to call a friend. Full details are out of scope for this response and forum.)\n6) if WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) security is enabled, you'll need to enter the WEP key you generated upon setup of the router, and select the right channel. Follow similar procedure if WPA was used, you'll need to consult your documentation for that since I'm not as familiar with it.\n\nOnce the ssid is set up and WEP key entered (if required), you should be able to get onto the wireless network. It might be a good idea to reboot your PC after you set it up the first time.\n\nBe patient and persistent, and don't be afraid to read the documentation. The instructions I have seen for my Linksys wireless router for example were pretty good and clear.\n\nGood luck!

I have sbc yahoo too and when I hooked my laptop up to dsl I had to buy a wireless card. I bought mine at Best Buy. It is a Linksys. They usually cost around $60-$70. It comes with a disk. so just follow the directions.

check your wireless router software

If you are talking about your personal connection at home, you dont scramble it as such... you need to encrypt the signals using the WEP encryption feature (if your router supports it).

You have to enable WEP or WPA Security on your Wireless Router.  WPA is the best protection for wireless router now.  WEP is crackable but it's better than nothing.  Normally the password for Linksys router is "linksys" (Without Quotations) If it's not try the word password, if that's not it reset your router to the original factory settings and check your documentation for the default password.\nCheck these articles from linksys\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1116602204044&packedargs=site%3DUS&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper\nhttp://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?c=L_Content_C1&childpagename=US%2FLayout&cid=1116519873380&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper
