Using Mac Address Filtering To Secure Your Wi-Fi Network
With no password established anyone can get into your router and begin messing with the configuration. It is advised to choose a powerful codeword for safety. The deal with line is in depth but work is ongoing for IPv5 and 6. Recent times have seen a tremendous fall in the prices of computers. You will find homes which have more than one of P.C. If you find that you have more than one computer, know that you are in the same dilemma as hundreds of other people who want to set up house networks. For instance you could be in the study room and wish to retrieve a file that is stored in the computer in the bedroom. The most significant importance of network in the home is reducing internet cost by allowing the various computers in the house to share broadband connection. This means a network is only possible when there is more than one network in the house. The use of a network is when two people are using the computers in the house but they require to use the same printer resources.
Note** - I know you have a network printer and the second choice is network printer and it makes logical sense to choose that - but you have to trust me and not think for yourself on this one.
You will need a device that provides a DHCP service. This is normally included as a service in the Internet access router -- you will probably need to enable it as, by default, DHCP is often disabled.
This 192.168.0.1 IP is normally associated with high speed broadband routers. You will find corporations which benefit from this kind of IP as default IPs to their routers, Netgear together with D-Link, for example. For more information about that you should check just about any wireless modem instructions of those two manufacturers.
The first thing that you have to do is that you should boot up the host computer, the computer that has connection. After that, you can log in by using the Administrator or even Owner account. After that, click the "Start" on the button left and then select the "Control Panel".
NOTE: With these tools chances of identifying someone on your network increases, but will NOT prevent them from gaining access to your Network. Other tools exist than described in this article, but the goal is to show you the different type of tools and how to use them.
By now you should be receiving signals from your router already. Your next task is to make your network secured. Open a web browser. Click the url text box and type 192.168.1.1. If this does not direct you to the configuration page, change the url to 192.168.2.1.
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.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, the possibilities for this use are endless depending on your own individual needs, and I imagine that as technologies such as 3G and GPRS are improved, this ability will extend to your PDA device as well so that you can access your home PC on the move, that's if you are not carrying around a small PC and mini holographic projector in your top pocket by then!
