* /wiki/Home_network * * * Most router companies use the same default IP address, admin account, and passwords on all their routers. Heres a table of the most commonly used ones, but your routers documentation will tell you the specific IP address and account information. After youve accessed the router, the next order of business is getting the security, SSID and IP addressing settings right. Getting security right is a must, unless you want a neighbor stealing your bandwidth and possibly your data. IP addressing is important because these addresses are used for devices on your network to communicate with the routers. You make all of these changes within the routers management interface. These settings are typically under the Basic settings of the interface. They may also be under Security or Wireless Settings. Router interfaces vary, so check with the manufacturer if you cant find the settings to configure on the below steps within the interface pages: Change the default administrator password. Some networking equipment forces you to do so, once youve accessed the Web-based interface, but many consumer routers dont. The settings for the admin password are usually under the System tab or area or page of the interface. You can just enter in a new password in the new password field. Change the routers default SSID. The SSID is the broadcasted name of your wireless network. Thats the name that shows up as the networks name when you scan for available networks. Use a unique name that your neighbors arent using for their routers, to avoid confusion. Assign security. Newer routers may be set by default to automatically configure security by using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Since the goal here is to have full control of your network, switch from WPS to Manual. Once in manual mode, go into the routers wireless security page. There is no excuse, except in very limited circumstances when dealing with legacy technology, to not use WPA/WPA2 Assign security WPA security
