The outlaws have a Belkin wireless router, unfortunately the security has not been enabled, so it gets switched off to stop it getting abused and sucking up all the bandwidth. Not having the manuals how do you enable the security, tried googling, but anything I turned up seemed to assume that I would know what I was doing, which quite clearly is veryfar from the truth.

Any help on this would be appreciated, I'm assuming I need to enable security on the wireless router by changing a setting, but this is where it all goes pear shaped.

IIRC the setup default ip is 192.168.2.1 this will get you to the routers setup screen.

I would also advise connecting the supplied cable when setting up as you will then need to

reconfigure the wireless adaptor to the new security level and encryption key.

Do you hsve the install disk ? there will be a setup manual on that.
Sorry i cant give more detail as I dont have acces to the manual at present.
