How hard is it to add a password to my wireless router? I have a blue coloured router with two antenna and it is made by dlink.

It is pretty easy to change your password for your router. Open up your web browser and in the address field put http://192.168.1.1 then hit enter. Log in to your router and there should be a field to change the password. If 192.168.1.1 does not work try 192.168.0.1.

Do you mean a password to administer your router's configuration page or a key for your wireless security (encryption of the traffic)?

Can you please tell me why put this in the address field? It looks like a IP address. And can you please inform me why those two numbers. And where did you come up with those numbers? Trying to to be a bother but I might as well educate myself more on this matter. Thank you

It so that no one in my area can us my router to give them internet. Was that a help?

You want to change the WEP key on your router. I chose 192.168.1.1 because it is a class c address and all home routers are on the class c addressing scheme. Specifically 192.168.1.1 and 0.1 because they are the most commonly used addresses with home routers. To change the wep key on a dlink router you must access the router via a web browser. You do this by inputting the routers ip address into a web browser. After logging in to the router(default username and password for most dlinks are admin admin) you find a button that says "Enable WEP" then input the wep key you want to use.

Thank you I will try this and get back to you.

You must have a manual that came with router, it's all explained there, usually in a "Quick Setup" page.

I did have one but I misplaced it when I moved in to my new house. I wonder can I get a download copy of it online?

You sure can. You'll need to find the model number.
