Setting up a secure wireless network with the Linksys WRT54G





 



Open a web browser like internet explorer or Netscape. Enter the ip address of your router in the address bar of your browser. In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the ip address of your router. By default the ip address should be set to 192.168.1.1.




You should see a box prompting you for your username and password. Enter your username and password now. By default both the username and password are admin. Click the Ok button to log in to your router.




Click the Wireless link near the top of the page.




Click the Wireless MAC Filter link near the top of the page.




Put a dot into the Permit only radio button.

Now you need to know the MAC address of every device that you want to Allow access to. You can find the MAC address of a computer by following our MAC Address instructions. After you have found the MAC address of the computer you want to Allow, type the MAC address into the MAC Address section of your router.

When you're finished, click Save Settings near the bottom of the screen to save your changes.

And that's it! You're done!



To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
