My sister got a laptop and i want to create a private network that requires a password in order to use that network for internet. My computer is connected to the DLink DIR-615 wireless router. What are the steps in creating the private password protected network?
Answer
connect to the router's config web page (open the command prompt window by clicking start and in xp click run and type in cmd and enter and in vista/7 type cmd into the search box and hit enter and type in ipconfig at the prompt to get the default gateway address then put that address into your browser address bar and hit enter or go or whatever) login, lookup the login info for that router if you don't know it, it might be printed on the bottom of the router or just search online, the default is the same for every router in a model line. then go to its wireless security setup page and enable wpa2 which is the most secure encryption method and make sure its enabled. You will generate a password for it and once it is setup, you will need to reconnect all wireless devices to it or change the properties of the saved connection for this router and add the passphrase and perhaps set the correct security method. Thats it.

How can i get rid of these errors since when i get online my internet has gotten slower. Is it my laptop or is it my internet cause i have tried everything and nothing has changed
Answer
Open a command prompt window (Start - Run - type cmd - hit enter)
type ipconfig /flushdns
press enter
type exit
press enter
(you could also run the ipconfig/flushdns command from RUN but you might not see the confirmation that it happened)

Otherwise there might be an issue with your MTU settings, but the above should work. Check the below site for info on MTU or google it
