Anyone with a computer that is capable of accessing the internet can use the wireless network.The network's owner is at risk because anonymous users can gain access to personal data stored on the computer.It is possible to prevent invasions from others by coding the data that is transferred from your computer to your wireless router.WEP orWPA are used for encryption.These steps can be used to gain protection.
Step 1: You can log on to the computer directly.
Step 2: To determine the web address to the admin page, you need to consult the documents that came with your routers.
Step 3: You can access the admin page from your web browser.

Step 7: You can choose between the 128-bit and the 64-bit ciphers.
The harder it is for someone to break in, the higher the number of encryption.It is possible that choosing 128-bit will slow down your internet access.
Step 8: A password is composed of random numbers and letters.
Step 9: You don't have to enter the encryption key every time you connect to the Internet if you set up your main computer as such.
You can choose the properties of your wireless network.Continue to follow the prompts after filling in your information.You need to enter the key after choosing WEP.
