WIRELESS
ROUTER
Securing your wireless router is
usually very simple. First off you need
to find your instruction book from your
wireless router. Look in thier to find
the default login for your router. Most
of the time the login line is blank and
the password is admin. But to be safe
check the instruction book. After you
have your login information open up your
internet browser (ie. explorer,
navigator). When that opens up type in
the address 192.168.1.1, this is the
default ip address for all wireless
routers. After you perform that then you
should see a pop up box asking for your
wireless router's password. This is the
part that you looked into the
instruction book for. Once you have
logged in to the router go ahead look
for the security tab and click on it.
The best way to set this is to WPA
Personal, this way you can just use a
simple passcode. After you have that set
go ahead and save your settings and your
wireless is secure. Go ahead and connect
from your laptop or desktop and it will
prompt you for that code that you put
in. You are now safe from hackers and
ineternet piggybackers.

NETWORK
TROUBLESHOOT
If you experience any trouble with
your wireless network, please read and
follow these instructions. Many times
following this advice can solve your
problems:
Problem: Cannot access
network/internet from any computer on
the network? Solution: Power down all
computers on the network. Unplug both
the cable modem and router. Wait a few
minutes. Plug in the cable modem. Wait
until the lights on the cable modem stop
flashing. This could take up to a
minute. After the lights stop flashing
on the cable modem, plug the router back
in. Again, wait until the lights stop
flashing on the router. Power on any
computer on the network. This is known
as power cycling your modem and this can
often restore connectivity.
Problem: Cannot access network from
one computer when all other computers
work fine? Solution: Try shutting down
the computer and restarting. If the
computer is a Laptop try moving it
closer to the Access Point. If this
solves the problem you are having signal
interference, which can be caused, by
many things including leaded glass and
metal reinforced concrete walls or
floors or simply your computer is to far
away from the Access Point.
Problem: How do I boost my wireless
signal to a weak area of the house?
Solution: Buy a wireless repeater. These
devices allow you to extend the wireless
networking signal much farther from the
original base station. Best Buy sells
them for less than $100.
Problem: I have a 2.4 GHz wireless
telephone; will it interfere with my
wireless system? Solution: 2 .4 GHz
wireless phones can cause interference,
with your wireless network. Normally
symptoms will be sudden loss of wireless
connectivity when the phone is in use or
drastically reduced speeds. If any of
these things occur you can try changing
the channel on your phone.
Hang up the phone and pick it up
again. This will usually force the phone
to use a different channel. Some phones
have a "CHANNEL" button near the keypad,
allowing you to reset the channel used
by the phone.
