Is Linksys 192.168.1.1 set-up page necessary? Why?
Hello, I bought a new Cisco Linksys E2500, Advanced Dual-Band N Router. I have a password on each of my 4 computers; laptops and netbooks. I also passworded up this new router as well through the CD set-up disc provided. If anyone were to hack into my computers, they would have to get by the computer(s) passwords and, as well as the routers password. Do I still need to go into the Cisco Linksys setup page (192.168.1.1) and password it again to make it extremely secure? Would this 3rd-time password on the set-up page be overkill or do I actually need this to be sure no one else is surfing on my signal? It's amazing to me how they could get past computer password and router password too. They are good complicated PWs. I normally work from an external hard drive and have all my data saved there. Presently, I have it unplugged so there is no chance of anyone capturing my information. Thank You!
Will I have to enter the 3rd set of password each time I go on the internet?
Also, I set-up a guest account and passworded that up as well. However, this shows 'Unsecured' when I hover over it. I finally turned off the guest account by way of the Cisco CD set-up disc. How do I secure the guest account? Thank You!
