Does anyone know how to put a password on linksys? I have the main one set up to my desktop and then I have a wireless on my laptop.

Open up your web browser and enter the following IP number

198.168.1.1

That is the default IP address for a linksys. That should connect you with the options for your router/switch.

Note, it may prompt you for a UN and PW. if its an older router, you leave the UN blank, and enter <admin> as the PW. If that doesn't work, enter <admin> for both the UN and PW. If that doesn't work, find reset button on the router, hold it down for 30 seconds, and then try the UN and PW combinations previously mentioned. The reset button reverts the router to factory settings.

Ditto HHM.

You may also find the linksys.com website to be very helpful, as I have in the past. If you put in your model number in the support section, it will take you to excellent help and how-to pages that are specific to your router. It'll even tell you where on your router to find the serial number if you don't already know, but it's usually a sticker on the underside. I was always impressed with Linksys support, which is why I have always bought Linksys. Good luck!!!

A google on this can show you a walk through step by step process. That's how we set ours up, and it was up and running within 20 minutes!
