in the url section and press Enter.
Note : If you failed to login then check your default gateway.
Click on Start --> In search box, type cmd and press Enter.
"Command Prompt" will be opened. Now enter the command
ipconfig ---> Press Enter.
Note down the "Default gateway" and enter that IP in your browser.
2) When it asks you to enter user name and password, enter password as
admin and click on OK (Note: User name is blank). If you failed to login
then enter user name & password as admin and click on OK.
3) Linksys Setup page will be opened. Click on "Wireless" --> Wireless
security. Now select "Security Mode" as "WEP from the drop-down menu.
If your PC supports 128 bit encryption then select "WEP Encryption" as
128 bit or select as 64bit.
Note : The stronger the encryption the better security you will get.
In "Passphrase" enter any phrase or any name and click on "Generate".
Now copy the key 1 in the notepad.
4) Click on Start --> In search box, type ncpa.cpl and press Enter.
