          If you are using your wireless connection and make any changes you will lose you wireless connection.

Step 1.

Open your favorite web browser and input your routers ip address in the address bar.
Please note that you must have the http:// in order to connect to your router/modem properly.

By default 'Basic Wireless Setting' should be chosen, if not click it now.

For 'Wireless Network Mode' set to enable.

For 'Wireless Network Name (SSID)' set a name you would like to call your wireless.
What you put here is what will show up when you are searching for a wireless connection.

For 'Wireless SSID Broadcast' normally you will have this set to enable.
This will broadcast your wireless connection to be detected by your wireless card.
This is a good way for a standard user to find the network, but also why it is important to have wireless security in place.

Once all information is set click on 'Save Settings'

Step 5.

Now click on 'Wireless Security'

For 'Security Mode:' you will have multiple options, for the sake of keeping this guide simple I recommend you choose WPA.
WPA is widely supported by wireless cards and allows you to set your own password.

Once you have your security set more boxes will appear on screen.

For setting your wireless password you will enter it into the 'Passphrase' or 'Password' box.

Once you have your setting all set click 'Save Settings'
