Want to block access to others of my wireless router

people keep connecting our wireless connection from outside our House and doing terrible research and we want to prevent this.

Hi Alison,.

Wireless routers can be set with security (and then you put the same level of security and the key on your computers, and only you can access it).

Go to start / all programs / accessories / right-click on command prompt, and click Run as administrator.  Then type IPCONFIG/all and click Enter (exactly as written with the space).  It should show you a number of things, including what is called the default gateway for your wireless connection.  This is most likely your router and probably something like 192.168.0.1 or something similar.

Now, open IE (or your browser) and in the address bar, type the same number.  This should connect to the router.   He may request a user name and password.  If you don't, contact your ISP or router manufacturer to be reset or get help to find or to find out what they use as the default generic values on this brand and model (if reset, no matter what they say, change them for something unique that you'll remember because many people know those generic used by companies and can easily get past that thanks to) them and we'll close them - they'll suggest against it because if you forget them, you watered - and it's true, so just remember them).  Once again, you will need to go to security and configure security settings appropriate for your system (and possibly make a few other changes as well).  You will probably need assistance of the ISP or router manufacturer to select the most appropriate for your system and network and ISP router.  For example, I couldn't use the best Type of security because it was not compatible, but was able to use the best following which is fine - but who would never have known had not walked me through the process.

Once done, go to your devices and computers and change the wireless settings to match those of the router.  You will probably have set up a security Type and the Type of encryption and a network security key (which is basically a password).  It is difficult to guide you without knowing your OS, but for mine using Vista I'm going on the network and sharing Center in Control Panel and click on 'manage wireless networks '.  Then I double click on my wireless network connection and click on the Security tab and it present options for these same three elements.  I input what I set up on the router, save the settings and reboot.  When I'm back, I can now connect to the network, and the wireless connection is secure (and if you see the wireless network page, it will say now secure and if you go to "Connect to a network" the options presented will also show it is attached.)  That's all and you have completed and now you are sure.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Disable defender and Security Essentials due to conflicts, has blocked access and control other programs.

    Hello, I use Windows 7 on a HP G60 laptop. I disabled Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials because I started running free Panda and Malwarebytes Antimalware version. Now an error window Defender blocking access and control of a large number of programs, the window message trying to force me to turn Defender. Disabling Security Essentials is causing other things to not work. I can not yet re - turn on Defender, if I try clicking on the link in the error window, it will not restart, expires.  Tried to turn it back on using the Task Manager, but there is no response at all if I click Start. Access to Services and programs in the start Panel are all both blocked by Defender error window.  I actually want defender and Security Essentials, because they are redundant and are in conflict with other programs I am running, but apparently they cannot be disabled without blocking access to my computer. I thought it was harmful to run all these programs of security in conflict between them, now I can't use my computer at all. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Thanks much for the advice. I have a few other questions. Defender is not separated from the essential? Then uninstall Security Essentials would have no effect on the Defender isn't it? My problem is that Defender deactivation now blocks access to many other programs with a Defender error window.  I read that Essentials was supposed to replace defender and Defender should have been stopped or disabled when Essentials has been installed. Is this correct? I didn't, got them both running.  When I installed Panda, I got a notification from Windows on the conflict and choose which program to use. Although I chose my own safety programs at the time, which was never disabled Defender or kept from running. So I finally did it manually by accessing the properties in Services to change the startup type to disable, which is when all the trouble started.

  • How can I block others access to my wireless router?

    I have performance slow and even lose connections.  I have Comcast and they have suggested that it is 'noisy' of what they see on their end.  The technology said that he receives many complaints from users of wireless router.

    Hello

    Quote: "How can I block others access to my wireless router?

    By setting up the wireless router security encryption.

    Of the weaker for wireless security, more strong capacity is.

    No security
    Switch Off SSID (even has No Security. SSID can be sniffed easily even if it is turned off)
    MAC Filtering___ (Band Aid if nothing else is available, MAC number can be easily Spoofed).
    WEP64___ (Easy, "Break" by knowledgeable people).
    WEP128___ (a little more difficult to activate, but "Piraté" too).

    -------------------
    The three above are not considered safe.
    Safe starts here at WPA.
    -------------------

    WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break).

    WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable)

    WPA2___ (not functionally breakable).

    Note 1: WPA - AES the current interpretation level entry of WPA2.

    Note 2: If you use WinXP SP3 bellows and not updated, you need to download
    the WPA2 Microsoft's fix.

    Documentation of your devices (router wireless and computer wireless card) must indicate the type of security that is available with your wireless hardware.

    All devices MUST be set to the same level of security using the same password.
    Therefore, security must be set according to what is the best possible one of the wireless devices.

    I.e. even if most of your system may be able to be configured to the maximum with WPA2, but a device is able to be configured for maximum of the WEP Protocol, to the whole system must be configured to WEP.

    If you need more security and a device (such as a wireless card that can only do WEP) is now better security for the entire network, replace with a better device.

  • How can I block access to the hard drive to windows when the computer is blocked?

    When I leave the computer on and 'blocked' option it accesses the hard drive and "work like crazy. Simple I want to block all the software to access the disk hard until I connect again.

    I want the computer to be available on the network, but does not.

    Thank you

    Sorry, but that is simply not possible.  Each computer doing something, if you're connected or not, each tick every millisecond it's on.  If you could freeze the process somehow, you would also freeze the processes and services that would allow you to access the network. Better, we advise to leave it alone, lock to prevent others from accessing and then do what you need to on the network.

  • Blocks access to a pdf file

    Hi all

    I tried to find an answer on this and other forums as well as using google, but I seem to be unable to find an answer.

    So, basically, I'm actually implement some scripts in my pdf files to track the number of views of my pdf as been opened and then submit that information to a remote server.

    To do that first of all, I must ensure that JS is enabled in the pdf reader that is used. So my question is, is it possible to block access to a PDF if JS is not enabled?

    see you soon and my apologies if it is a question of delay.

  • Qosmio G50 129: can it be used/accessed by other DLNA products?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G50-129. I am looking to purchase a DLNA Certified TV but wanted to know if the laptop is compatible DLNA so that I can access the contents of my Qosmio on the TV or if it was all I needed to do the Qosmio "DLNA compatible?

    The http://www.dlna.org/digital_living/product_types/#pc_frame site advises the following:
    "Personal computers (PC).
    One who has a PC knows that they have powerful network capabilities built-in. Thus, their DLNA Certified potential is determined only by the type of software installed on them.

    DLNA Certified PC are able to act as a Digital Media Server (DMS), Digital Media Player (DMP), Digital Media Controller (DMC) or digital media converter (DMR). Most of the PC available today start with be certified as a DMS, since many of us keep most of our digital content on our PC. »

    There is also a section of research and correspondence on the site that does not have my model Qosmio. This mean that I can not, or is there a solution/work around for this?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    REkha

    As far as I know that any PC with a NIC (Ethernet or Wi - Fi) can become a DLNA device by installing DLNA software. In January 2010 the DLNA started a software certification program.

    As far as I know Toshiba will offer the new application in the future and make it more comfortable to use DLNA. Must be an interface for Windows Media Player.

    For now, you can try to use the standard features of Windows 7 which should be available in Windows media player (supplied with Windows 7) 12.
    To be honest I don't have any other DLNA device and can not test it, but very quickly I want to buy DLNA player Blu - ray with integrated WLAN and want to have access to my PC and watch movies on TV but portable saved on HARD drive.

    So look for some info on the DLNA on Windows media player 12 service and see how it works.

    Please be so kind and inform us of this.
