How to set password
« on: March 04, 2013, 12:24:24 PM »

DIR-655. Never needed to setup a password before so others cannot use mine as a hotspot.
Now I need to. How do I do this? Firmware is current.
Thanks in advance

Log into the routers web page at 192.168.0.1 and use the on-board set up wizard to help you set up WiFi security and other things or manually set up the WiFi under Setup/Wireless/Manual.

You have to log on using Admin and the PW is blank. Then either use the Setup Wizard or manually set WiFi with an SSID and PW under Setup/Wireless/Manual.

Thanks, my hang up was getting into wireless securtiy mode and going through scary-sounding acronyms.
Selected apa mode:auto
Pre-shared key is a confusing term but i guessed it as "password"
all is good thanks for helping. God bless you.
