Thank you soooo much. I found the information very helpful and easy to follow.
Thanks for the help. I knew that I needed to secure my wireless for some time but had no idea how to do it. Your guides are clear, effective, and, most importantly, easy to follow for those of us with little tech savvy.
Your the best man….thanks a lot
Step 11, do I uncheck HTTP or leave them both checked?
Thank you SO much! I was able to secure my wireless network all by myself and since I tend to not be tech savy your directions must have been wonderful!!
Very simple, concise instructions that worked perfectly. Thank you so much.
Hey i got to step 11. But i dont see the HTTPS check box or an acess server option. iam on the administration, management page.
this website was excellent..praise God!!! I contacted Linksys to help me secure my network for WRT54G and they gave me expensive options from $29.99 one time deal to $99.00.
I googled the subject – how to secure my WRT54G? and voila… I found this site w/ all the answers and followed the instructions. The next thing I know, my Network was secured and lock for my own use w/ the padlock icon. And I was able to configure my wireless laptop on Wifi to connect to the now secured Parent network.
I saved my money and became more savy in the name of securing a network. Just take practice and patience.
I also forgot my router password rightafter changing it, but resolved it by – pressing w/ the scissors point to the Linksys router RESET button for 40 seconds. The default ADMIN was restored then started all over again.
Tnx very much. The instructions were so easy to follow. I feel relieved, I think my wireless network is now secure.
Thank you so much for posting this. I called linksys for help and they wanted to charge me 29.99 for a 24 hour tech support charge. Also read the reset and how to go about that so thanks for that post as well. I did have one issue in regard to switching to HTTPS. Everytime I checked it everything stopped working, it just cut me off and the page could not be reached, so I had to keep resetting the router because nothing worked after. So I kept HTTP and finished the steps. For some reason after I finished, I couldn’t connect wirelessly even after putting the right key in. Just a note if it does not work, you need to power cycle the routers and modem. As soon as I did this everything worked within seconds.
