Now i want to change the security to WPA, how is it possible?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Solution :<\/strong> This is actually a very simple process which is available under your routers settings pages.

The settings are quite similar to what you have setup for the WEP Security. You need to access the routers settings page at 192.168.0.1 with the default admin Logins provided by the router. Then click on the wireless settings page and select WEP\/WPA. Since you are planning to setup the WPA which is more better and secure select this option and enter a secured passcode or password which is a combination of numbers and alphabets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/WPA-Settings-Passphrase.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/WPA-Settings-Passphrase.png?resize=552%2C170\" alt=\"WPA Settings Passphrase\" title=\"WPA Settings Passphrase\" width=\"552\" height=\"170\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/WPA-Settings-Passphrase.png?w=552&amp;ssl=1 552w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/WPA-Settings-Passphrase.png?resize=300%2C92&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.amitbhawani.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/06\/WPA-Settings-Passphrase.png?resize=150%2C46&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Overall a very simple way to setup the security options in your wireless router.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Problem : I have two different routers from Linksys &#038; Dlink both offering good speeds of Internet Connection.
