Kevin R. Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hey, we just got Road Runner installed in our house here on campus and we are not sure how to set up a password on it. If someone has done this and can outline a step by step outline it would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I am sure it is easy but I have not messed with it and my so-called computer savvy roommate cannot figure out how to do so. Thanks a lot. -Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObliqueFD Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 This is just off the top of my head. You might have to modify it a bit. http://192.168.1.1 Username: Admin Password: Admin After logging in, go to the Wireless tab click on Wireless Security select a security mode ie: WPA, WPA2 etc. enter your password in the shared key click apply/save now you need to edit your settings on your computer search for wireless networks select your network enter the password click ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Is the username and password really "Admin"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no username, you leave the field blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 So do I have to do this whole dealy on the computer the software is on? Is there even software? My roommate set up the rest of it...but couldn't figure out the password. I haven't messed with his computer or really talked to him about it so I wasn't sure. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the help that should work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 start-run-cmd <enter> in the black screen type ipconfig <enter> your default gateway is probably 192.168.1.1 open a web browser and put in <the default gateway> as the address you would like to go to that should open the management console screen admin is the password, maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supplicium Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Once you get it setup and working I suggest going back into the setup and turn off SSID announcements/broadcast to off/private that way it will not show up when others are just scanning for an AP.
