How easy is it to set up a security password on the SanDisc Connect network. I understand that by default there is no security. Thanks

I do not know, it was a gift, I never messed with it but the person I gave it to loves it.

I am using it in a mixed Mac/Windows home network. It's been a long time since i set it up, but as I recall, I got it to connect without resorting to running the Windows program.I did run the program on a Windows box later just to see what it did, but don't believe I needed it for initial setup.

with your systems security. Your security system will detect the hardware and the software for the Belkin and will ask you to set the security level. I chose the password/code that came with the belkin and followed my AVG security softwares suggestions on firewalls and use. I have no issues with this router or any security intrusions.

Into the package you get a quick referece guide. But you can connect it to the computer, by cable or wi-fi, and then, type 192.168.1.1 in your browser address bar. Window setting will open. Factory default username 'n password is &lt;admin&gt;, &lt;admin&gt;. You'll find &lt;Help&gt; and instructions setting. Keep in hand date from yr ISP provider. Good Lucky.

We never set the network up to be protected. Is this something that would be set by default? We've never entered the MAC address for any of the other computers, playstations, etc and they all work fine.For the 2nd one - add the code for your DNS server - are you suggesting to add the code to the player and if so how?One other problem I have gotten 3 Blu Ray disc from Netflix and none of them have worked but the ones that I have purchased work fine!! I updated the player via an iso image from a disc. Any ideas??Thanks!

It has password protection for both, wireless and USB connectivity. For WiFi you' dprotect it like any wifi hub. Connecting via cable allows to define a password for the Map Drive functionality. Not sure what happens if somebody would get hold of the drive, remove it and drop it into a drive dock, though...

That's all the hardware you need. You should only need to enter your Passphrase/hexadecimal code to access your network. I have a Linksys, others may require different entries. The procedure should be the same as when you add any other device. I never had to enter IP address, subnet or any of those entries.

There's 4 different encryption settings. You pick the level of security you want. Create a pass code as hard or simple as you wish. Since this is dual band, you can opt to allow acces to either band. I found all the setup to be very easy. For one time users/guests there's a button to push on the router that allows access without the passcode.

yes when you log in to router with 192.168.1.1 (default) username: admin (default) pass: password.there is a option called wireless settings in that you can give your wireless a name and assign passphrase so it can be secured and nobody else can use it.

Good question. I ordered 2 of these that didn't come with the admin password. Ended up sending the back because none of the tech support people could tell me what it was.

All of our extenders actually transmit a new network that do require their own SSID and password. The password can be the same as the home network but the SSID has to be different.

This router is secure already, but it's not like your home router which is encrypted.however, when you configure it, it will ask you for a password , so you choose the one that your computer registers... It needs to be connected to a Ethernet port... In order for it to work!

I have used it to set up wifi in hotels that only had an ethernet connection in rooms. That's one of the reasons I got it in the first place, so I could use my laptop in places other than the desk. I've also used it in offices that only have an ethernet connection. You do have to set it up FIRST on your system to create the SSID and password. If you're going to use it in hotels or on the road, definitely set up the password.

I have win xp, sp3, worked great, driver loaded with success, no problems except with everyone using secure connections, I could not connect for internet, maybe in a big city where leftover signal is available, it would be great. I can see all my neighbors on line but like I said, everything is password protected so I could not connect for wifi.

During the initial setup you will have to type in your SSID...But once you have finished going through the setup and KNOW your SSID and PASSWORD..You have the option of "hiding" your SSID by not broadcasting it....

This switch requires some config as any device for security reason. However the device is pretty much plug and play, i recommend going through the tutorial for common network practices for proper security

Do not know what you mean. It has users which you can specify to access it. You setup the user and password. They do not have it, they cannot view. Pretty standard stuff.
