I had to reset my WHR-G54S due to me forgetting my password. I reset it to default but would like to enter a new password to prevent someone from logging onto my network from down the street.

 

Long story short, how do I enter a new password|?

Go into the advanced tab when you log into the router, and go to wireless config tab and go to security from there you can set a wep key (if your using vista dont use it)  use tkip.  Wep64 is 5 characters and they can be a combo of number or letters but they have to be five characters.  you can use wep128 which is thirteen same rules apply.  or you can use TKIP and that has to be 8 or more characters.
