To begin we will need to connect a computer with an Ethernet cable directly to the Belkin router. You can do this setup connected to the wireless but you will be disconnected from your wireless router at least twice during the setup without using an Ethernet cable.
First, we will need to use the computer that we have wired directly into the LAN port on the router. Once you are on this computer, please open your Internet browser.
Once you have opened your Internet browser, you will need to clear out the Address Bar across the top. Here you will need to type in http://192.168.2.1 into the Address Bar, and then press Enter on your keyboard.
Now you will click on Security on the left side of the screen under Wireless. Then from the drop down box on the right, select WPA/WPA2-Personal(PSK). Next click Apply Changes.
You may now be prompted for a password. By default the password is blank, so simply press Submit.
Here you should see a box that is labeled Password(PSK) >. In this box is where you will type what you would like your wireless password to be. Once you have entered your password, click on Apply Changes at the bottom.
After you have saved your settings, the router will now broadcast a secure wireless broadcast. Any of your wireless devices will initially have to type in the passphrase which was entered into the wireless router.
Hi Verna,
I order to secure your Belkin WiFi secure you would need to follow the following steps:
> login in to the Belkin dashboard using the IP address : 192.168.2.1
> Login with the password that you have created when you first setup the router or else try the default one leave it blank or try admin
> go to the wireless tab under it click on the security
> select the security as WPA2/ AES and then put he password that you want.
> Apply the changes the password will be created and WiFi will be secured.
In order to make it secure you need to secure your wireless with a password securities like WPA,WPA2 ,WPA2MIXED,OR WPA2 PERSONAL.
For this first you need to go to the dashboard of your Belkin router by using the default IP address i.e 192.68.2.1
Then go to the wireless settings tab and make all the settings and save it.
Your router reboots and you need to reconnect all devices with wireless again with a wireless password.

1. Press windows + R key that will open run window for you.
