How Do I Set Up My Wireless Router So A Password Is Needed?
5 Answers
I suspect that someone might be using my WiFi connection as my ISP has told me that 62% of our monthly download limit has been used in the last few days.
Every one in the house assures me they have not been downloading huge things, so I want to password-enable the connection so outsiders cannot nick my download limit. I know I have been lax, and should have done this before. Please can someone tell me how to do this.
I have a 3 Com router, a few years old, attached to a downstairs PC. There is a wifi range extender so we can use laptops and iPads upstairs.
I can log in as an administrator and change settings using the browser, but can't see a way to set up a password.
Thank you.

You're probably looking for a reference to 'password' when you should be looking for 'PSK' (= Pre-Shared Key), which is what your router calls a password. See if this helps:

There should be a wireless settings menu option. Do the menus look like the ones in this link? If so, you can use the instructions there - pre-shared key is the wifi password.

If not, can you tell us the exact model of your router.
