Many of you probably already have it, but may not have it configured properly. If you have a wireless router at home you should password protect it.
There are two types of passwords you can put on a wireless router:
- To secure any changes being made to the router
- To lock down from people using your signal

Depending on the router type but you are going to type in the IP address into your internet browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari etc) to access the configuration page. This number will differ from brand.
D-Link Router = 192.168.0.1
Linksys Router = 192.168.1.1
Belkin Router = 192.168.2.1
Apple – 10.0.1.1
ASUS – 192.168.1.1
Buffalo – 192.168.11.1
Netgear – 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.0.227

D-Link Router = User ID: admin = Password = <none>
Linksys Router = User ID: admin = Password = <none>
