To set a password on virtually any wireless router you can do the following: First, go to "Start" and "Run." Type in "cmd" without the quotes. When the Command Prompt comes up type in the following, without quotes: "ipconfig" Locate the box that says "IP Address" and remember that number. Go to your default internet browser and type in that number. (Note: If it does not work, when typing the "IP Address" in the internet browser, type the following, without quotes: "192.168.1.1" or "10.1.1.1") If a box comes up asking for the login and password, it is probably either blank or of the following: Username: admin Password: admin or Password: admin Now go to "Advanced Setup." Click on "WEP" and select "Enable" and choose either 64 bit or 128 bit encryption. Click the box called "Passphrase" and type in what you want the password to be. Click "Save Settings." Click on "WEP" again and remember what Key 1 is. (Note: This is important.) Now you can set all users to this.

If you have a wireless router that needs a password for you to use it how do you unlock it so you never need to use a password again?

If you are trying to connect to it via wireless Windows allows you to store the password on the computer for the wireless network so you only have to put the password in once per computer. If you are setting up multiple computers you can save the password in a notepad document and place that on a USB key. If you want to take a password off of the wireless network you can connect to the wireless router (please see user documentation for the router) and disable wireless encryption. This however is strongly discouraged because anyone can access an unencrypted wireless network.

You need to make sure that your wireless adapter supports the security. Check if the network requires WPA2, if does and you cannot connect to it, it means your adapter can't work with and the router has to configured to work with first generation of WPA.

How can you find out who is connecting to your wireless internet?

It depends on the kind of router you have. If you have a westell, it would tell you when you put in 192.168.1.254 as your URL. Linksys routers dont tell you but, you could put security on the router so only your household can acess it. I say Wep is best as a security. For any other kind of router, type in 192.168.1.1 in the Url. admin is the default password. Hope this helps.
