HOW TO CONFIGURE A WIRELESS ROUTER WITH REFERENCE TO LINKSYS ROUTER BY CISCO

Running a simple local area network to share files and resources isn't new as a computer installed and configure with a network adapter is a network on it own but implementing the power of wave to install a wireless networking is superb as there will not be need for a cable running and joining that will make a local area network look hierarchy.

As a network engineer, i charge a minimum of $100 equivalent to 16,000NGN as at time of writing this post just for me to configure your wireless router to your network which won't take me more than 10mins as long as your computer and devices are equiped with wireless network adapter.
I do normally advice my client to go for cisco product when it comes to networking as their product are compatible with all other vendor product making them the best.
The trick behind charging 16,000-20,000NGN for a job of 10 minutes is already done as the router itself comes with a manual with step by step procedures on how you can configure it but due to the fact that some of the terms used are unidentify and new to you, you employ a network engineer to configure it for you and that is what i do in 10 minutes and charged such an amount.
Let's get started.
Connect your router to a computer system using a twisted pair cable with R.j 45 connector at the both end of the cable, one entering the port on your computer and the other going in to one of the LAN port at the back of your router; please note the LAN and WAN port not to plug it to the WAN port.
After powering up your router and computer, launch internet explorer browser.
Enter the default I.P address of the cisco router which is 192.168.1.1 in the url address bar.
At the login configuration page type admin for the username and password.
The default settings from the manufacturer is always o.k just for a mere modification to the ssid(network name) and the wireless encryption key (WEP) which secure your network.
Please note that the router login password should also be change from the default admin to a more secure one to prevent unauthorized access to the router information.
Save your settings and exit the page, your router is now configured and visible to any wireless access point or adapter around.
