D link setting wifi password. How to put a password on a router: step by step instructions. Several important points

This manual will describe in detail the process of setting a password for a wireless Wi-Fi network on wireless routers ASUS. The guide is equally suitable for almost all routers (consumer segment), including ASUS RT-G32, RT-N10 and N12, as well as other popular models (different firmware will be considered).

By protecting your network with a password, you will not only avoid the use of your Internet access by unauthorized persons (and as a result - a drop in your speed), but also more serious possible consequences: for example, if you are not particularly versed in network settings Windows, it may turn out that a neighbor will dig in your documents and photos, and you will not know about it.

Logging into the router's web interface

The first thing to do is go to settings Wi-Fi router... It will be better if you set the password from a computer that is connected with a wire to the device (but, it is also possible via Wi-Fi, I will try to take into account and describe possible problems with this option).

Launch your browser and type in address bar 192.168.1.1 is the standard address for entering the settings of ASUS routers. It is also indicated on the sticker on the back side, and there you will also find the login and password for entering, usually admin and admin in both fields. (If they do not fit, then you changed them when initial setup, there are two ways out - remember or reset the device to the factory state. This is not a password for the wireless network, but a password for administering the Wi-Fi router settings).

Two options for the web interface for configuring Asus routers

Once entered correctly, you will be taken to the settings web interface, which may look like the image above. If you have ASUS RT-G32, you will most likely see the option on the left, on ASUS RT-N10 and RT-N12 there is a dark web interface (although older firmware may also have the first option). The process of installing protection on a wireless network is no different.

Setting a password for ASUS Wi-Fi


In the web interface of the router settings, select the item " Wireless network", Actually all parameters are set here, including the password for Wi-Fi network... The picture above shows the settings on the new version of the firmware, below there will be a screenshot with the old web interface for setting.

  1. The SSID item specifies the public name of the wireless network by which you identify your network among all others. Don't use Cyrillic.
  2. Authentication method (Wi-Fi encryption type) is recommended to set WPA2-Personal as the most secure.
  3. The WPA pre-shared key is the Wi-Fi password, enter the desired one, containing at least 8 characters, do not use Cyrillic and special characters.

Click Apply and wait for the wireless settings to change.

If, when making these settings, you were connected to the router by wireless connection, the connection with it will be broken and, possibly, you will see an error in the browser window. All you need to do is reconnect via Wi-Fi to the ASUS router, but with new parameters.

Good day!

- Why does the Internet slow down every evening, I can't download anything, and the pages open for a long time? - One friend asked me once.

The next day, after reviewing his Internet settings, programs, router, etc., I was surprised only by one moment: his home Wi-Fi network was not protected by a password (it simply was not there). Oddly enough, after setting a password, the brakes and lags of the Internet stopped, and in the evening the Internet began to work as expected. Apparently, there were some neighbors who successfully used his Internet channel, just in the evenings everyone comes home from work / school, etc.

In general, I will give one piece of advice: in any case, if you have any suspicions, change the password for the Wi-Fi network. If you don't have it at all, be sure to install it (even if you have very fast unlimited Internet).

This article will show you how to do this.

Important! You also need to change the password for Wi-Fi because those who connect to your network will use the Internet under your IP address. Basically, if they only occupy your Internet channel, it's not so bad.

But just imagine if they suddenly commit illegal actions - you (most likely) will be the first to come to see you! I think there is no need to explain that it is better to avoid such visits? Therefore, the PASSWORD is required!

To change the password for accessing a Wi-Fi network, you need to do something like the following:

  • go to the Wi-Fi router settings;
  • then open the tab / section for configuring the wireless network (also called Wireless or Wi-Fi);
  • in this tab select certificate of safety, encryption type, and password to access the network.

In general, everything is quite simple. Before moving on to specific models routers and their configuration, I will focus on several important parameters (sounded above).

Certificate of safety

The most popular security certifications found in almost every router are WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK. Today, the best security is provided by the WPA2-PSK certificate, and I recommend choosing it.

If devices that do not support WPA2-PSK will connect to the Wi-Fi network, then stop at the WPA-PSK option (some routers have WPA / WPA2-mixed mixed mode).

By the way, some inexpensive router models may not work stably and break the connection when WPA2-PSK is selected. In this case, try limiting the speed of the router, as well as changing the security certificate.

Encryption type

Closely related to security certificate. If you choose WPA, the Temporary Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is used, when you use WPA2, the secured AES standard is used. This is what I recommend starting from. if you choose a setting other than this, there may be problems connecting devices to your network.

Choosing a password

Here, perhaps, I will only say the most basic thing that I think about his choice. I noticed that many users set very simple passwords like: 11111111, 2222222, 11111122222, etc. Such passwords are very quickly brute-force and cracked.

It is unlikely, of course, that someone will deliberately and take a long time to find a password for your home wifi networks (especially since the vast majority of them do not contain any valuable data), and nevertheless I will give a couple of tips on what the password should be:

At least 8 characters;

It is advisable to use both letters (Latin) and numbers (of course, some will also say special characters - but in my opinion it's not worth it, it's too dreary to type them on a phone or tablet when connected to the network);

Do not use your names, standard words (password, admin, computer, etc.), the most famous dates, etc.

Now let's move on to specific router models. So...

You may find useful an article on how to enter the settings of the router. In some cases, this cannot be done (the link is given below) ...

How to log into 192.168.1.1: enter the router settings -

D-Link

One of the most popular brands of routers in our country. There are quite a large number of them, but there are not so many firmwares that differ from each other (fundamentally), 3-4 pcs. In this article I will give a few variations of them, and first, a few important parameters.

IP address (default) to enter settings: http://192.168.0.1

(it is advisable to use Internet browser Explorer)

Login(default): admin

Password(default): either an empty string or the same admin.

In older models of routers (such as DIR-300, DIR-320, DIR-615, DIR-651) as a rule, the firmware is not translated into Russian and is presented in such an orange-gray design. To change the password, you need to go to the router settings (if you fail to enter, then just above in the article there is a link to instructions for solving the problem) , and open the section "Setup / Wireless setup".

At the bottom of the window in the column Network Key enter your password (see the screen below), by the way, there are set and security certificate, and type of encryption(what it is - see above in the article). After the entered settings, save them - the button Save Settings.

DIR-300 - password setup // Setup / Wireless setup

By the way, there is a similar firmware in the Russian translation, it is configured in the same way.

For DIR-300 NRU and DIR-320 NRU router models(firmware version 1.2) the settings page looks a little different: a nice white background, all the main settings sections are presented on the left side. We open "Wi-Fi / Security Settings" , and install:

  1. network authentication: WPA-PSK (for example);
  2. encryption key PSK: this is your password;
  3. WPA Encryption: TKIP + AES.

For D-Link DIR-620 / DIR-320 NRU routers in firmware versions 1.3 and 1.4, the interface is slightly different: when you go to main screen, you see a gray background and tiles (like in Windows 8) that display the main sections of the settings.

To change the password, open the "Wi-Fi / Security Settings" section (number 1 on the screenshot below), and then enter:

  1. network authentication: WPA2-PSK (for example);
  2. Encryption key - enter your password;
  3. WPA encryption - AES (see screenshot below).

Router from Rostelecom (Sagemcom)

In general, with routers from Rostelecom, as a rule, there are no big problems - everything works as expected. Yes, and when you connect to the Internet, you will be given a password and everything will be set up. The firmware in routers is completely in Russian, so there are usually no questions about setting it up.

Address to enter settings: http://192.168.1.1/

Default password and login: admin

Browser: almost any: Opera, Firefox, IE, Chrome, etc.

To set a password, open the section "WLAN Setup / Security" ... Further in subsection "Manual setting access points " select:

  1. Authentication - WPA2-PSK;
  2. WPA / WAPI password - enter your password;
  3. WPA / WAPI encryption - AES;
  4. then press the button "Apply / Save" (screenshot is shown below).

Actually, that's the whole setting ...

Tp-Link

One of the most large manufacturers routers, tens of millions of people around the world use their products. In our country, their routers are also very popular, and they do a very good job with Russian networks (they work with almost all Internet providers).

IP address to enter the settings: 192.168.1.1 (in rare cases 192.168.0.1 , depending on the firmware version);

Username: admin;

Password: admin (type without periods, commas, etc.).

Most often you have to deal with the so-called "green" firmware. Found in routers: TP-LINK TL-WR740xx, TL-WR741xx, TL-WR841xx, TL-WR1043ND (45ND), etc. Approximately 50/50 firmware is in English / Russian.

The screenshot below shows the English version: to change the password, you need to open the section "Wireless / Wireless Security" then choose WPA / WPA2 -Personal and put:

  • Version - Automatic (Recommended);
  • Encryption - Automatic (Recommended);
  • enter the password into the string PSK Password .

TP-Link (green firmware)

Almost identical actions will need to be done in the Russian version of the "green" firmware: open the section "Wireless Security" then ask PSK password(see number 3 on the screenshot below).

TP-Link "green" firmware (Russian version)

You can also often find the "blue" version of the firmware in TP-Link routers(for example, TP-LINK WR340G, TP-LINK WR340GВ and other similar models).

Their setup is almost identical:

  1. first open the section "Wireless Settings" ;
  2. in the graph Security Type install WPA-PSk / WPA2-PSK;
  3. Security Option- put Automatic;
  4. Encryption- install Automatic;
  5. PSK Passphrase- this is the password (a slightly different spelling than in other firmware versions). It must then be specified when connecting wirelessly to the router.

TP-Link blue firmware

After the settings have been made, save them (button Save on the screenshot above, see number 3).

TRENDnet

The parameters for access are relevant provided that the router has factory settings and its IP has not changed.

IP address to enter settings: http://192.168.10.1

User Name: admin

Password (password for access): admin

In general, TRENDnet routers most often have 2 firmware versions: blue and gray (both in Russian and in English).

To configure security and set a password in the "blue" firmware, for example, a TRENDnet TEW-432BRP router, you need to do the following:

  1. open section Wireless / Security ;
  2. in field Authentication Type select WPA;
  3. in field PSK / EAP select PSK;
  4. in field Cipher type select Auto;
  5. in field Passphrase and Confirmed Passphrase enter password and press Apply(screen below).

In the "gray" version of the firmware (for example, as in the TRENDnet TEW-651BR router), the actions are performed in the same way, even the menu items are located in the same places.

Asus

IP address (web interface): 192.168.1.1

In the authorization lines, type login: "admin", password: "admin" (enter without quotes!). Browser preferably IE (although modern versions of the web interface work well with all popular versions Firefox browsers, Chrome, Opera, etc.).

Most often, ASUS routers have two firmware: "blue" and "black" (moreover, they are usually localized in Russian).

To change the password in ASUS RT-N10E, RT-N10LX, RT-N12E, RT-N12LX, etc. routers (this is with the "blue" firmware), you need to open the section Additional Settings / Wireless / General Tab .

In the graph "WPA preshared key" enter your password and save the settings.

ASUS // blue firmware

In ASUS RT-N10P, RT-N11P, RT-N12, RT-N15U, RT-N18U routers, the firmware (in terms of password setting) differs only in color. In it, you also need to open the section "Wireless network" , tab "General"... Then change the graph "WPA Preshared Key" and save the settings.

ASUS // "black" firmware version

Zyxel

  • The IP address of the router on the network (web interface): 192.168.1.1
  • Login: admin
  • Password(default): admin

To change the password for ZyXEL Keenetic of the first series, you need to go to the web interface, open the section "Wi-Fi network", tab "Security" ... Then set the following parameters:

  • Authentication- WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK;
  • Protection type- TKIP / AES;
  • Network key format- ASCII;
  • Network Key (ASCII)- we set our password, which will then need to be specified when connecting wirelessly to the router.

In newer routers (for example, Zyxel Keenetic II: Start, Giga, Omni, Viva, Extra) a slightly different firmware is installed. To change the password in them, you must select the section in the menu "Wi-Fi" and then select the tab (top) - "Access point" .

NetGear

  • IP address to enter the router settings: 192.168.1.1
  • Login: admin
  • Password(default): password
  • You can use almost any browser: for example, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc.

To change the password in NETGEAR routers (for example, model WNR2200): open the "Wi-Fi Settings" section, then install:

  • Safety parameters: select item WPA-PSK (TKIP) + WPA2-PSK (AES) ;
  • Passphrase: enter your password (later you will need to specify it when connecting wirelessly to the router).

In principle, in this short article I tried to consider all the most popular router models. If you have a different model from the ones listed, the technique of work will not change: first you need to find the IP address to enter the settings of the router (can be found in the documents for the device, or on the manufacturer's website - to determine the characteristics of the PC).

Then, having entered the router settings, open the Wi-Fi security section (or Wi-Fi settings) - then set the desired password and save the settings. Difficulties, most often, are with entering the settings of the router: either the password does not fit, or the IP address is incorrect, or something else ...

On this article I conclude, adyos amigo!

Then most likely you already know the basics. That is, in this case the Internet cable is connected to the router, which, in turn, through the WI-FI technology distributes the Internet to any devices (phones, laptops, tablets).

To WI-FI signal not caught by neighbors, and did not start using our Internet "for free", you need it.

It often happens that you set up the Internet through a router, but forgot to put the password on WIFI or failed due to inexperience. I propose to resolve this issue.

(I will record a video lesson very soon, but for now, a text version)

The first step is to connect the blue cable to your computer. It usually comes with a router and is used for configuration. Insert one end of the blue cable into your computer and the other into the connector on your router. It will turn out like this:

Now go to Start - Control Panel - Network and Internet - Network Control Center and general access- Change adapter parameters and make sure you have connected The local network... If not, turn it on.

And now to the most important thing!

How to put a password on WiFi

The first thing we need is. All changes are made through the web interface. Therefore, we launch or any other browser and write the address 192.168.0.1. Depending on the router, the address may not differ much. You can see it on back side devices.

So, having registered the address in the browser, press Enter.

Before setting a password for WIFI, you need to log in.

We enter the username and password from the router itself. Usually the login is admin, and the password is either 12345678 or also admin. But the trick is that most often the person who changes this password for security purposes. Therefore, if the standard ones did not fit, then you need to find out the data from the original source, that is, from the wizard who set up the router for you.

After logging in, we will find ourselves in the settings. Depending on the router, the interface may differ, but the essence is the same everywhere. We need to find the WI-FI section and go to Security Settings.

Select the WPA2-PSK authentication type and then a new field will appear: Encryption key where can we register a password for WI-FI.

By performing the same operation, you can change the password for WIFI. After that, you need to connect to WI-FI with a new password.

If you suspect that someone picked up your code, then such an operation is extremely important.

If you live in a multi-storey building, it is extremely important to put a password on WIFI, otherwise all your nearest neighbors will be grateful to you for " free"Internet. And you will wonder why the speed is so low. Read the lesson: to know just in case.

I welcome everyone! Recently I was asked to tell you how to put a password on wifi router, otherwise people are tired of handing out their Internet to neighbors.

Of course, Wi-Fi has become a very popular wireless network, which is especially attractive for users of tablets, smartphones, and laptops. However, it is not uncommon for ordinary PCs to also connect to a Wi-Fi network. This technology is also good because there will be no stupid wires in the apartment or office that spoil the surrounding view, as well as the design. However, do not forget about the security of such a network. When users set up a Wi-fi network, most do not even know where the Wi-Fi password is put. Thus, the network will not have protection, and anyone can connect to it. Let's solve this problem.

How to put a password on a wifi router? 3 easy steps!

In fact, to learn about how to deliver or it can be a difficult businessman. This is explained by the fact that today the number of manufacturers of wireless routers is constantly growing. Each manufacturer uses its own shell to configure the router. To make it a little easier for you, we will set a password for Wi-Fi in stages.

Step # 1. We open the web interface of the router.

Any modern router is configured using the web interface. Don't be intimidated by the word "web interface". In other words, this is an ordinary small site that has a router, while the site opens in any browser.

We use our favorite browser, go to the address bar, enter the IP address of the router there, often these are addresses:

  • 192.168.0.1
  • or 192.168.1.1.

If you do not know which one to enter, you can simply enter them one by one. As soon as you have entered the IP-address of the router, you will see a form in which you must enter your login and password to access. After you have entered the username and password, you will see the router's web interface. In the picture below, you can see the web interface for ASUS.

Step # 2. Find the section with WI-FI settings.

We study the web interface in more detail, while noticing the section where they are produced. There you can either put a password or change it.

As we see on ASUS example in order to access the section, you need to go to the "Wireless network" link, and then go to "Advanced settings".

Step # 3. We put the password on the WI-FI router.

In the section with settings from WI-FI, select the authentication method, then the encryption algorithm, and then enter the key password) to access WI-FI.

  1. Where "authentication" stands, you must select WPA2. This is a novelty and at the same time a good option security.
  2. Let's put the encryption algorithm "AES".
  3. Well, do not forget about the password for WI-FI itself. To do this, use the "Key" field, and enter there a set of numbers and letters.

After the settings made, do not forget to save, and then, if necessary, restart the router itself.

Such actions are enough to set up a password for WI-FI. Upon further connection to the network,.

That's all for me! I hope you already know how to put a password on wifi network in just a couple of clicks. If you still have questions for me, please ask them in the comments. And do not forget to enter your email address and receive my lessons on it. Peace for everyone!

From Uv. Evgeny Kryzhanovsky

Wi-Fi wireless network is the most convenient way internet connection for such mobile devices like laptops, tablets and smartphones. Moreover, in recent times Wi-Fi technology is increasingly used for connectivity and common desktop computers. This way of connecting to the World Wide Web allows you to get rid of ugly wires that can ruin any interior design.

However, using wireless connection it is necessary to remember about safety. When setting up a home wireless network, many users simply do not know how to set a password on Wi-Fi. As a result, they and the data that are transmitted over such a network are available to everyone. Now we will try to solve this problem.

It is not so easy to tell how to set a password on Wi-Fi. The fact is that there are now many wireless manufacturers. Each of these manufacturers uses their own shell to configure the router. To help with setting a password on a Wi-Fi network, we'll walk you through the process step by step.

Step # 1. Open the router's web interface

All modern routers are configured via the web interface. There is no need to be intimidated by the word "Web interface", because in fact it is a small site that is hosted on a router and is accessible to the user from any browser.

Open your favorite browser and enter the IP address of your wireless router in the address bar. 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 can be used as the router's IP address. If you don't know exactly what IP address your router has, then you can just try one first, and then the second.

After you have entered the IP address of the router, you will see a form in which you need to enter your login and password for access. If you are, you can check out our article on this topic.

After entering the username and password, the router's web interface will appear in front of you. In the picture below, you can see the web interface of the ASUS router.

Step number 2. Find the section with Wi-Fi settings

To access this section in the web interface of the ASUS router, just click on the "Wireless network" link in the "Additional settings" section.

Step number 3. Put a password on Wi-Fi

In section with Wi-Fi settings you need to choose an authentication method, encryption algorithm and enter (key) to access Wi-Fi.

In the "Authentication Method" section, select WPA2. This is the newest and safest option. We choose the AES algorithm as the encryption algorithm, this is also the most reliable option. And of course, do not forget to set the password on Wi-Fi. To do this, enter a set of numbers and symbols in the "Key" field. After all the settings are set, we save the result, in some cases
