    For reference, see the manual here:

    1. Sign in to your router ... enter 192.168.0.1 into a browser address bar.  It will ask for userid and password, default is admin/password (manual pg 7-8).
    2. Select Settings/Wireless Settings
    3. Make sure you are using WPA or WPA2 security, change the Pre-shared Key (PSK), this is the password used to connect over WiFi (manual pg 11-12).
    4.  You may also want to change the default router login password ... see manual pg 22-23 for details.
