Lock The Wireless (Wi-Fi) Router

      It's important to secure your wireless internet and prevent people from pirating off of it by locking the router with a personal password. Here's how to do it.

     Become your own IT person with the instructions in these Howcast videos, which tell you how to check your internet speed, find an IP address, use WAP, lock a wireless router, expand a wireless network, optimize your web connection, choose an IP range, and more.

Step 1.

       Open your web browser. Type in the URL address that is specified your router's instruction manual. You should see a window pop up requesting a username and password.

Step 2.

       Use the username and password listed in your manual to sign in. The configuration page will appear.

Step 3.

       Click on administration. At the top you'll see a place to type in a password, and then a place to re-enter your password to confirm. Choose your network's name, called your SSID. Enable Wi-Fi protected access encryption, called WPA2 or WEP. Save your settings.

Step 4.

       Most wireless routers come with an option to enable Media Access Control -- or MAC address -- filtering, allowing you to specify that only computers that have a particular MAC address are allowed access to the wireless network. To enable this feature, refer to your router's manual.

step by step for how to Connect Laptop to TV for Video Games

How to Connect Laptop to Television For Enjoying Video Games.

 
         There are several ways to turn a big-screen TV into your new computer monitor and enjoy video games, web content, and photos like never before.

         It doesn't matter if you're a Mac or PC, we've got laptop buying and maintenance tips for everyone in these Howcast videos, like how to fix a stuck laptop key, how to clean a laptop screen, and how to connect your laptop to your television.

Step 1.    

         First, connect a video cable – you've got several choices. For PC users, an easy option is an S-Video cable. Most PCs and digital televisions are equipped with an S-Video port. 

Step 2.

         If you have an older HDTV, try a VGA cable, which produces better picture quality and works with both Macs and PCs. To connect, turn off your laptop and your TV. Find the trapezoid-shaped VGA outlets on the TV and on your laptop. Once you're connected, power everything back on.

Step 3.

         You can also connect with a DVI video cable. A DVI connection is a step above VGA in picture quality, but only newer computers and HDTVs come with DVI ports. Connect as with a VGA cable.

Step 4.

         If your HDTV doesn't have a DVI connector, use a cable that is HDMI on one end, and DVI on the other to connect to your laptop.

Step 5.

        Hook up the audio. After you've connected your laptop to the TV via video cable, connect the mini-to-RCA cable from your computer’s headphone jack to your TV. 

Step 6.

        A final PC option is to go wireless, using a converter box and the software that comes with it. Using a VGA cable, plug the box into your TV and install the software onto your computer. The box will then convert your computer's VGA signal to the TV, and transfer both video and audio. 

Step 7.

        If you have a PC, go to the Control Panel and adjust the display settings to accompany double display on both your monitor and TV set. Mac laptops should automatically adjust for double display. If yours doesn't, go to System Preferences, click on Display, and then Detect Displays. 

Step 8.

        Click your TV's video source – usually a button called "input" or "TV/Video" on your remote – until your laptop comes up. You're set!
