Hi,

I have a 4 port belkin router. One goes to one of my computers and an other goes into philips wireless base station. My two laptops connect with the wireless. My problem is that my neighbours are taking advantage of this connection and it slows me down. Could someone tell me how I can put some kind of password on my connection so that only my 3 computers can connect on it ?

Thanks,
Thomas Lafon

Ps. : I can't access my wireless base station ip or I just don't know the right ip...

get the manual to find the corret IP address; should be 192.168.0.1 or very
close thereto and put this into the URL of your browser as the URL
You should have the Belkin configurator page

you need to enable WEP or WAP security; the former is easier

1) change the SSID to something personal+(2) numbers
....my_sirname_nn
2)set a pass phrase, or just enter something you can write down
for later: eg: 'does eat oats-kids eat oats-$1.95'
3)generate the 'KEY' and write it down
4)set the ADMIN password and write it down
5)save the configuration and restart the Belkin

now go to your wireless systems, one at a time;
set the SSID per the above
set the key shown from (3) above
and try to connect;

if this works correctly, the system will have Internet access.
go back to the Belkin configurator page,
get to the security page
and place a check mark in the box [ ] do not broadcast the SSID
save the configuration and restart again.

You should be able to config the other system(s) and get access too
