Configure Your Wireless Security Settings

Your router requires adjustments to ensure that all security settings are enabled before you communicate securely with your computer. Failure to configure these settings properly could compromise your network to wireless hackers.

Logging In

If at all possible, connect your computer to the router using an Ethernet cable and not wirelessly. If you log into the router wirelessly for the first time, someone could be snooping and see the changes you make to passwords, thereby compromising your security. After you have configured the security settings, then wirelessly connecting to your router is safe.

1Once the router is connected, open your web browser. Enter into the URL field http://192.168.10.1 (the router’s default IP address) and press the Enter key.

2The login screen appears.

3Enter the User ID. The default factory setting is “admin”, without the quotation marks.

4Enter the Password. The default factory setting is “motorola”, without the quotation marks.

Once you have logged in, for security reasons you should change the User ID and Password. See below.

5Click Log In to enter the Router’s Web-based Configuration Utility.
