how to set WEP key or password on my router

[TanuKi Beard]

This has been driving me craaaazy!!!! I mean, I already posted here, asking how to set a password on my

US Robotics router, but, it didn't work!!!!! I believe that D-Link has this WEP key, which is at least secure, can I set something like that???? Seriously, I think people have been using my Wireless connection, the internet has been slowing up lately! So may I please know how to set a password or WEP or any securing way to prevent people from using my Internet connection.

My Router model is:

USR8054

Thanks in advance!

did you try http://192.168.0.1/ or something like that, to log in to your router, to set the WEB encryption?

He was already pointed to the EXACT page on on his routers interface to setup security back in Aug.

I also pointed you to the EXACT location in your routers manual on how to secure your wireless http://www.usr.com/support/8054/8054-ug/th...tml#WirelessWEP

But no I doubt he bothered to read any of it..

What do you NOT understand about setting up wireless security? You want WPA-PSK, with a STRONG password.. NOT WEP.

Why do you feel someone is using your wireless? Have you setup security? As stated in the previous thread -- You need a STRONG password, if I can guess what the password is - I can get on your network, does not matter what level of encryption you use.
