Tune-up: Setting up a Wi-Fi home network

Step 6: Set the password

To secure your new Wi-Fi network, go to your wireless router's configuration utility again by entering its IP address in your browser. Using the router documentation or built-in help, if necessary, find the option that lets you change the default password. With the DI-624, this option lives within the Tools page. Apply the change but leave the configuration routine open for the next step.

The Tools page in the DI-624's configuration utility allows you to change the router's password.
