Wireless help

[GiantsFanatic]

So I gota wireless router, and I created a wireless connection, but I forgot to set up a password for it, so I was trying to figure out a way to disconect that wireless and make a whole different connection? Because everytime I try to install the router CD it wont let me make a whole new setup. So please anyone I need your assistance.

PS: I'm now connected to the internet with my landline at the moment.

I would just try and restart your computer and try reloading the disc again. Or completely shut down and turn it back on and try again. Or go to your program files on the C: Drive and delete the router program and start over.

You need to find the router IP address and change the administrative username and password.

Most are 192.168.0.1 enter that into the address bar and you will get into your router and be able to alter settings...it would help if I knew what type of router, but I set up my friends and my own connections, so I could assist further if you need.

I have tried restarting my computer and the software is not DL on my computer, or else I would have just unistalled it.

I have a Linksys WRH54G its a wirelss G home router.

OK Linksys...

Connect the router via ethernet cable to any computer/laptop, type in 192.169.1.1

Once you are in the router it will ask you for name and password, usually they are variations of ADMIN/admin.

Once you are inside, you can add users, password protect, etc.

I've only done it on DLink's, but it's supposed to be the same.

Actually bro, nevermind I just figured out, I went on Linksys forum, I had to hold onto the Reset button for 30 seconds and it went back to factory settings. So now I can set it up again and set a password this time.

It took no effort man...just doing that all off of memory.

Well I got the wireless to work, what I'm confused about is to how to setup a secure connection so only my family members can use it. I went to the Linksys forum and got this how do i secure my wireless connection - Wireless Routers - Linksys Community Forums
I followed all the steps as the second post suggested but it still shows I gota unsecure connection.
