How Do I turn my network secure?

scottfoobeats · 05-12-2009, 10:33 PM

I recently got schooled about how evil REGCURE is. All of a sudden my network didnt work anymore and I couldnt connect. Got into a bunch of problems trying to restart my factory settings on my router. I did the hold the button on the back for 20 seconds, also did it while powering on. Restarted my system and modem and router . It just kept saying that the network settings didnt match the computer or sumthing like that, excuse my paraphrasing. So to make a long story short I did a system restore to 2 days ago before I downloaded DR EVIL (REGCURE). Now it works but the network is unsecure. good signal and everthing. I was just wondering if I could somehow secure it.

I'm using a NETGEAR ROUTER WGR614 v9 and a comcast Motorola modem and i'm trying to hook it up to use my laptop.

I tried to connect to the IP address with NETGEARS SMART WIZARD and reinstall the settings like that but that also wouldnt work. This sounds so simple but Im stuck!

Can you system restore?

Hello scottfoobeats,

You need to login to the netgear and set the encryption there.

Steps should be similar to the following link.
