securing an access point connected DIRECTLY to LAN - no PC

GerryH · 2008-02-26 21:52:32

Hi there Maybe someone out there has solved this problem before. I am using LINKSYS routers to make parts of my school wireless. The routers are plugged directly into LAN points. It works fine but is not secure. Any suggestions? Again, the routers sre NOT connected to PCs therefore cannot secure in usual way. Thanks…

Can you not connect to each router and put a WPA key on each?

Access the routers using a web browser (enter the ip address of each router into address bar). This will launch the web admin pages. Login and configure the router's wireless settings. Read the manual for more info.
