How do I change the security settings on my Linksys wireless router?
On the setup page, click Wireless and select Wireless Security. Step 3: Select WPA Personal under the Security Mode drop-down menu. NOTE: If you are using a Wireless- G router, fill in the required fields on the 2.4 GHz Wireless Security.
What security mode should I use?
WPA2-PSK (AES): This is the most secure option. It uses WPA2, the latest Wi-Fi encryption standard, and the latest AES encryption protocol. You should be using this option. On some devices, you’ll just see the option “WPA2” or “WPA2-PSK.” If you do, it will probably just use AES, as that’s a common-sense choice.
Why is my router saying not secure?
A connection that is not secure means just that — anyone within range can connect to it without a password. You might see this type of WiFi network in public spaces, like coffee shops or libraries. Despite built-in security features, many people leave the default settings in place on their router/modem and network.
Can’t find my network security key?
A network security key is often labeled on the exterior of a router. You should look for a small sticker at the back or the bottom of the device. If it’s not available there, check its packaging box or the manual that came with it from the manufacturer.
What is the default Wi-Fi password for Linksys?
