Setting Up A Secure Wireless Network - Component 3

This provides much better security and pace than wireless connections. Modem and cable qualities can be accessed here. Doing this and following actions #1 through #3 once more will permit you to enter a new WPA Key. There are times when the learning curve in this technologically challenging information age can seem like a mountain range. Once you conquer one peak or obstacle and you think you are the smartest fellow on the planet, another task presents itself and you are off to the medicine cabinet for another blood pressure tablet. I thought it would be a good idea to document the recent experience I had when trying to access the internet on a new laptop in a friend's home using a modem and a wireless router. The reason is that I would have liked it if someone had previously documented the same experience for me. It sure would have saved me some time.

By default, most home routers have no security set up out of the box. This means that your neighbor can easily connect to your Wireless network and surf the web, without you knowing it. If that happens, they are using your bandwidth that you are paying for, to freely browse the internet. But that's not all. Without the proper security in place, your router and any network device connected to it (computer, cell phone, etc) becomes visible to anyone that can see your Wireless signal. From there, it's super easy for a hacker to connect to your computer and see your files, or even worse, steal/delete your data.

After the re installation is complete, you can set up the security features; remember that this is a task you must set up yourself. As is always the case when handling routers, make sure that the instructions are followed step by step.

So to fix this, all you need to do is log on to the router and make the change, all routers are accessed by what's called an IP address, you can find the address easily by Googling the make and asking for the IP. For example "Linksys IP address", here are the ones that I know: Linksys 192.168.1.1, Dlink 192.168.0.1, Netgear 192.168.0.1, SMC 192.168.2.1 it's almost always one of these three (two are the same).

It gets complicated and I am not going to re-invent the wheel. What you are looking for is what type of NAT device you have. It is probably a symmetric NAT as this is the one that is incompatible with STUN. Yes this is the problem!! STUN doesn't work with a symmetric NAT, here is why.

Doing so will at least relieve your neuroticism and reduce the amount of lamenting for losing the password. If this does not work for you, do not worry and check this router support guide. It has been designed to help you easily reset your router's password without going through a round of hassles and troubles.

Look for "request timed out" errors in the list of "reply from 192.168.0.1", if they occur about 1 "request time out" error to 10 "reply from 192.168.0.1" you may need a repeater.

Step1: - Open your computers one by one and install the NIC. As I mentioned above if you have built in network card on your computer's motherboard then you don't need to do this activity. Better you buy PC with built in network card this way you can save lots of time.

Obviously, you can configure your Cisco router in a similar manner to forward nearly any type of traffic from an outside interface to an internal host.
