I have a router that I'm trying to get into wirelessly I have all the DNS and DHCP locations and the default gateway. I think the best thing to do is get in and encrypt the wireless part of the router so I can surf the web any time. I just don't know how. This may not be an appropriate subject for a computer programming site but who knows networking better than a programmer?

To answer your question yes it is my router I don't do any war driving or stuff like that. I'm not that kind of a hacker. I have a book that describes how to boost the signal of the wireless interface to the router but I don't want to try anything like that until I'm 500% sure I can and that means gaining experience with another router first.

Dare I ask if this is your router? The router is mine as I said the reason I don't want to try anything foolish is because it's my only link to the internet and I can't get advice here if I lose it.
