I just got a wireless router (my first). Linksys WRT54GL.
My wife and I don't have any wireless devices, except the new printer I think has wireless capabilities. I'll worry about that later. It's set up now with 3 wired computers and works great, maybe even a little zippier than my old router. Maybe not.
We are expecting a lot of visitors over the summer who will be bringing laptops and Iphone's and Itouch's and the like. Most of the time I plan to have the Wirless feature turned off. When it's on, I want to have it set to the optimal settings for convenience and security This is where my knowledge falls short.
The only thing I have done so far is change the default password to a better one. I've downloaded the manual pdf but a lot of it is Greek to me.
Any suggestions for this nOOb?
