Does anyone in the internet world know a simple way to make my wireless password protected? I'm apparently computer illerate when I tried to look it up online.
sorry it took so long to get back you, you need to log into your route. in a web browswer goto 192.168.0.1, username: abmin, password: *blank*. Once your in, click "wireless", then scroll down to security, click the little down arrow, and choose the bottom option, and make a pass phrase. Then hit "save", the router will reboot. Then boot your laptop, you'll see a little yellow box, saying only encrypted networks available, click that box, another window should open, with a list of available networks, choose your network, it should ask for the pass phrase, enter it, and click the box that says "always connect to this network". Thats how I did mine, I have the same router
Its very tempermental, sometimes it disconnects and reconnects in a loop, and I have tp power cycle it, then it behaves for a while, this is my first and last dlink router, I am just going to get a cisco router(Linksys is cisco now) next.
I'm going to go to Best Buy and convince them to let me exchange it (since it should still be fucking working after 5 months). Maybe, if I get REALLY lucky, they will let me exchange it for a linksys, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
The really nice thing about Windows, is that it does it FOR YOU. It walks you through it step-by-step. Make sure you have your Windows disc just in case. Windows will do just about everything for you.
