Belkin Router Password Setup Wireless N

I just purchased a Belkin N Wireless Router. I set everything up right and was able to access the wireless connection. However there are about 14 wireless connections in my area (condo) and mine is the only unsecured network. How do I make it secured? The CD didn't prompt me to.

When creating a password, you need to add numbers, upper and lower case letters, and symbols. The password should have a minimum of 12 characters.

Belkin Router password set up wireless N?

To set up a password for your Belkin router, you must first access the web interface. Here is how you can set up a password in your Belkin N wireless router - 

  • Firstly, go to the web browser and enter the IP address 192.168.2.1.
  • Next, you must select the submit option without typing anything in the password field because Belkin wireless routers do not have any password by default.
  • Now, at the top left, under the wireless section, choose the security option to check the security settings in the right pane.
  • You must change the security mode option box to WPA/WPA2 personal (PSK).
  • In the authentication option box, you have to choose PSK+WPA2-PSK.
  • In the encryption technique option box, you must choose TKIP+AES and enter a password in the "pre-shared key(PSK)" option box.
  • You must select the applied changes option to save all the new security settings.
  • On the left in the utility section, tap on the system settings option.
  • Now, form a new, stronger password and enter it in the "type in the new password" section and 'confirm the new password" section. In case you also have a current password, then you have to type that password in the "type in the current password" section.
  • Select the "apply settings" option, and your new security settings will be applied, and you can create a new password.
  • Once the password is created and all the changes are successfully saved, you can enjoy Wi-Fi connectivity without worrying about protecting your wireless router.

You can follow the steps mentioned above carefully to set up a password for your Belkin N wireless router.
