Did you try looking at the settings in 192.168.1.1?\n\nType that in your browser and it should come up for setting configuration.

http://www.portforward.com/ is your resource for that.\n\nHere's the specific page to your router\nhttp://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-624+/Xlink_Kai.htm\n\nIf its not the DI-624+ model, then here the DI-624\nhttp://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Dlink/DI-624/Xlink_Kai.htm

You have to access your router's set-up, and look into the Security option.  In the choices it will say something about Enabling encryption.  Listed in the options will be the Wep Key.  It may be blocked out with **********'s  so if you are stuck and don't know what it was just change it.

There are different ways of securing your wireless network.  The most common methods are by using WEP or WPA-based authentication and encryption.  However, the steps to add security to your wireless network depends on the wireless router you are using.  Usually, the wireless router manufacturers provide software discs and manuals to do so.  Even if you don't have a manual, browse the software installation CD which might have come with your router, it usually contains a .pdf file for instructions.  If you have misplaced your disc, you can access their website or call the tech support of the wireless router manufacturer for detailed instructions on securing the network.

You need to enable WEP on both the router and the laptop with the same channel, SSID, encryption and key settings.

There are many ways to secure your router and when setting it up the D-LINK CD-ROM should help you set this up.\nI have attached a link that can help with this.\nI think the best security out there is WPA.\n\nIt is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. If you are configuring the router from a wireless connection, please be aware that as soon as you enable encryption on the router, you will lose connectivity until you enable encryption on the wireless card you are using. \n\nNote: Your network will slow down and wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead. \n\nStep 1 Log into the web configuration of the router by opening up a web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). \n\nStep 2 The default username is admin (all lower case), and the password is blank (nothing). Click OK . Select the Home tab and click the Wireless button on the left hand side of the screen. \n\nStep 3 Select enable next to the WEP radio buttons. For WEP encryption select 64 or 128-bit encryption. For the Key type select HEX. \n\nNote: 40-bit and 64-bit encryption is the same as well as 104-bit and 128-bit. Please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=480 for more info. \n\nStep 4 Select Key 1. Enter a Hex encryption key that you make up. The length of the encryption key will depend on what you selected under WEP Encryption. \n\n64-bit encryption 10 characters \n128-bit encryption 26 characters\n256-bit encryption 58 characters (DI-614+ Only)\n\nThe encryption key is HEX, meaning 0-9 and A-F are valid characters. \n\nStep 5 Click on the Apply button then click on the Continue button to save your settings.

If you changed the default admin password on the router and enabled encryption, thats a good start.\n\nYou could also set the router to only accept signals from your system by specifiying the MAC address of your NIC

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

Firstly you need to check for compatibility. A WAP54G will only repeat WRT54G with firmware 2.02.7 or higher. Also WAP54G will not repeat WRT54G V5. \nGoto www.linksys.com/download for the latest firmwares.\n\nSetup: \n1. Login to the router (Default IP is 192.168.1.1, password : admin) and note the Wireless Mac-Address under the Status->Wireless TAB. \n2. Also get the WEP key if any and disabled MAC-Address filter under the Wireless TAB. \n3.Connect the WAP54G to the WRT54G and login to it (Default IP is 192.168.1.245, password : admin). \n4. Set the AP Mode to Wireless Repeater and type in the Mac-Address in the Box (Remote Access Point's LAN MAC Address) adjacent  to it. ( This is the addr you got from the routers Status->Wireless Tab). You dont have to type the colons. Just type in the numbers and letters.\n5. On the WAP54G's setup page match the WEP settings with that of the Router. You have an option to set a different network name (SSID) on the WAP54G.\n6. After you save your settings, unplug the WAP54G from the Router and Restart the device (unplug and replug the power cable - DO NOT TOUCH THE RESET BUTTON). \n\n\nFor screenshots and step by step instruction, visit www.linksys.com/kb : Type 231 in the search box and select AnswerID for the "Search By" field and click search.

I have linksys wrt54g. I love it and so will you. It's pretty easy to install. It will work well with comcast which I have too.

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. :-)

Your wireless router should still have spots on the back for ethernet connections. Pick any open ethernet spot and plug in your vonage box there.

You could be experiencing interference from other appliances that transmit at 2.4 ghz (cordless telephone?)  Or, you might need to lower your packet rate.  Try packets first, than give Linksys a call to reset transmission.  Go to the HTTP address that belongs to your router to access the settings.  Don't forget to enable security!

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).
