I went to:

192.168.2.1

I have the following options under the security settings:
WPA- Pre-Shared Key
WPA-RADIUS
WEP

I tried WEP and I restarted my computer but no longer had access to the internet; I tried to connect but it said something about the settings not allowing me to connect to it.

Hope you can help.

NOTE: Router had a previous owner; I have no disk to go with it only the router and the Ethernet cable.

Try disabling WEP, Then verify the Key.

It is disabled.

I'm able to access the internet now-- however, it's still not secure

you need to go to the Wireless option not the Security option
(the Wireless is right before the Security settings)
-Now you click on Wireless Security (2nd one in)

Setup as WPA2 Personal - security mode
WPA Algorithims - TKIP+AES
-it should assign a WPA shared key for you

Click save settings

Now when another computer finds the wireless connection, it will ask for the PW (WPA shared key)
-enter the one that was provided for you

This is easiest way that I have found and it works

I did go there.

It says:

Security Mode:
Disable
WPA Pre-Shared Key
WPA Radius
WEP

NOTE: This router had a previous owner

Can you get to the Routers Menu?

seahwk83

Security Mode:
Disable

next to where it says Disable - use the down arrow to change to WPA2 personal

mudweiser

It does not say that.

It only says what I've mentioned above.

can you post a screenshot, but right next to where you see disabled there should be a small down arrow that gives you options to change to :

Disable
WPA personal
WPA Enterprise
WPA2 Personal
Radius and WEP

if not, what model router and firmware version (upper right corner)

mudweiser

I don't know how to do the screenshot.

It's a WRK54G


Unfortunately, it only gives me those three options.
