In a browser address bar, type 192.168.X.X (look in user manual for exact address for administration interface address) & find the Settings for Security (or similar):



Set for WPA (or WPA2 if your computers support this level) & AES.

(Use WEP only as a last resort: it's apprentice work to crack).

Also;

Disable: UPnP & QoS (unless using VoIP or gaming);

Enable: Router management username & bulletproof passphrase (not the same as Internet access password, which would be the PSK (pre-shared key)).

Make passwords non-dictionary items; letters & numbers mixed; write it down on a piece of tape straight away & put it on the top of the router (you'll be needing it again I'm sure).



Note: Mac address filtering will prevent accidental & casual freeloaders, but will not deter committed hackers. Mac addresses are on the front end of packets, therefore un-encrypted and as such, easily copied and used to 'spoof' packets; enabling a 'man in the middle' attacks.



You might want to also set (in 'Connections') as 'always connected' to prevent disconnects when there is no activity to or from the Net.



Next, you need to set your computer to connect:

If you're using Windows to configure your Wifi, go to Control Panel> Wireless Network Connections> Wireless Networks tab; here you'll need to identify all wifi networks your system 'sees', then for your own (or preferred) network, highlight it, then 'move up' to the top of the list: then, go to 'Advanced' button, tick 'access points only' and uncheck 'Automatically connect to non-preferred networks'>close> OK

I have a Netgear so I'm not too sure, but look on the bottom and there should be a website with a user name and password. Once on the site change the settings to set a password with WPA-PSK encryption. Its much safer than WEP and just as fast. You later might want to set up an access list so that only connected devices with their MAC adresses on the list can access the internet.

Mining--basically 2 "n"s. the main unfavorable mining--strip mining (additionally the main complication-unfastened) includes sparkling reducing of forests and different plant existence observed by technique of digging a huge hollow interior the land. It continuously alters and destroys the surroundings, even no remember if it incredibly is rehabilitated later. Shaft mining is likewise unfavorable, yet on a smaller scale. it incredibly is greater risky for the miners. Mines choose get admission to roads for workers and equipment, so because it incredibly is the 1st step in environmental degradation. Roads propose much less habitat for flora and fauna and that they upload to drainage issues. they could strengthen international warming with the aid of pondered warmth, and that they could harm permafrost especially areas. Any mining activity produces a definite quantity of functional mineral and a definite quantity of waste, stated as tailings. those tailings many times get into the water furnish and contaminate it. In different situations they could contaminate the land, making it impossible to plant something there interior the destiny. some tailings are radioactive and could proceed to infect for hundreds or maybe hundreds of thousands of years. Mining very in maximum cases disrupts water factors, the two on the floor and below the floor. Streams could be diverted, killing flora and fauna. from time to time water is used for cooling or cleansing, making it unsuitable for different purposes.
