URGENT!! Adding password to existing network?!

They've just done you a favour, you should secure it.

To access your router try going to 192.168.1.1 in your web browser.

You can find the password to login to your router here.

You should go for WPA security and you should change the login password for the router too .

 

You normally can access your (Dlink) router with a web browser. I think Dlink uses the IP address 192.168.0.1 but double check your manual.

Enter in your username and password. Since you got hacked it is probably still the default out of the box (username:admin, password: <blank> --- but again double check.

From here you are on your own. Each router is different. But you will want to enable WEP (at least) and make up a code so that only your computers can gain access to your network.

SCR

 

Navigate in safari to http://192.168.1.1

The user name should be admin and the password admin (or blank) then just follow the easy instructions.

In reality, you don't need to secure your network, just the router.

Thank goodness it worked for you.

 

Don't even consider WEP go straight for WPA2 if at all possible.
