A device w / ethernet connection is REALLY necessary to change the wifi password?

I'm not all that intuitive technology. About 6 years ago my son helped us set up our wireless and router. We opted to NOT have a password that we were the only House in the area at the time and never understood the risks of unlocked despited being taught by our son. Times have changed, a development went in where used to be closed and now we decided to use a password. I looked at how so witelessly and have accessed the screens and now what needs to be done, BUT I am leary to do this, as all the tutorials I have watch seem to suggest an ethernet connection is required. The problem is that we have no device to an ethernet port. We use our wifi to our mobile devices, tablets, smart TV and Roku. My son now lives in another State. The ethernet is really necessary to simply add a password? Or y at - it another way to handle this. Thank you!

Hello! An ethernet cable is only needed to establish a connection with the router. Since you have been connected to the wireless router, there is no need to connect a cable connection more. To secure your network, follow the instructions in this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?pid=80&vw=1&articleid=22751 .  Have a good!
