? about password for router Hi Everyone, Thanks for your help with my router problem. I have a few questions about the router password. There is some kind of password that I have with the router....user name "admin" and there is a password that goes with this. Is this the password that Advancedsetup is talking about this? AND, What does [security Type...shows No Authentication{open}]mean? One final question...The wireless key that I was given by the cable company [10 digits] is a phone number. Do they give this phone number to everyone. In other words should this number be changed? Is this another kind of password? Thanks again for your help.

Hello Everyone, I have a question about wireless network security. A neighbor installed my Dlink router for a wireless connection to my laptop and I am not sure about the security connections. [i know nothing about this] When I go to Wireless Properties...Security...Security Type shows No Authentication{open}. There are other choices available in the list... Also on the same page... under Encryption Type WEP comes up in that category. My password has 10 letters. There is also something that has Key Index 1. My question is...Are these secure settings? I checked several neighbors connections by putting cursors over their signal on available networks and Wpa-psk 802.11G comes up. My signal says WEP radio type 802.11G. If my settings are not secure...how would I go about changing them? Thanks everyone for your help.
