<li>At the Command Prompt <strong>type &#8220;<em>ipconfig /all</em>&#8220;</strong> (<em>ipconfig</em> stands for <span style="text-decoration: underline;">IP Address Configuration</span> and the <em>/all</em> tells the computer to show you all information pertaining to your various network connections (wired, wireless &amp; virtual))</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re looking for your <strong>Wired IP Address</strong> the result be be under <strong>&#8220;<em>Local Area Connection</em>&#8220;</strong>. If you&#8217;re looking for your Wireless IP Address the result will be under <strong>&#8220;<em>Wireless LAN adapter&#8230;</em>&#8221; </strong>(see picture below).<a rel="attachment wp-att-52" href="http://blog.bl3ndlabs.com/2010/01/19/how-to-find-your-ip-address/ipconfig_all/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-52" title="Windows IPConfig" src="http://blog.bl3ndlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IPConfig_all-300x210.jpg" alt="Windows IP Lookup - IPCONFIG /ALL" width="300" height="210" /></a></li>
<li>IPCONFIG will present you with more data than you&#8217;re looking for however the IP Address can be found under either <strong>&#8220;<em>IP Address</em>&#8220;</strong> or in <strong>Windows 7 it is called</strong> <strong>&#8220;<em>IPv4 Address</em>&#8220;</strong>. Once you&#8217;ve located that row your IP Address will look something like <em>192.168.1.111</em> (it will be in the x.x.x.x format). <strong>Thats it, you&#8217;ve found your IP!</strong></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Setting up a wireless router may not always seem like the easiest task but we hope to take some of the mystery out of it with this guide.</p>
<h3>Unpack / Boot-Up</h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Place the wireless router in a central location</strong> to where you will want to access the Internet. Keep in mind that a good router will reach about 150 feet in diameter without ANY obstructions. In a home you have walls and furniture that will greatly reduce the range this wireless network will reach. Also keep in mind that you will need access to a power outlet and your ISP modem.</li>
<li>On the reverse (back) side of the Linksys router you will find 4 LAN ports, 1 WAN/Internet port, a reset port and an AC power port (see pic). <strong>Plug your Ethernet cable from your modem into the WAN port</strong>. <a rel="attachment wp-att-13" href="http://blog.bl3ndlabs.com/2010/01/18/guide-to-setting-up-your-linksys-wireless-router/linksys-wrt54g-back/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-13" title="Linksys WRT54G back" src="http://blog.bl3ndlabs.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Linksys-WRT54G-back-300x231.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="231" /></a></li>
<li>Now insert another Ethernet cable into any of the 4 available LAN ports and the other end into your computers Ethernet port.</li>
<li>Plug in the power to the available outlet.</li>
<li>While the Linksys router boots the power light will blink, once it stops blinking it has completed booting-up. This process could take up to 2 minutes.</li>
<li>Reboot your computer so it can obtain a new IP address from the router through the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).</li>
</ol>
<h3>Configuration</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open a browser (Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer), <strong>type http://192.168.1.1 into the address bar</strong> and press enter.</li>
<li>When prompted for a username type &#8220;<strong>admin</strong>&#8220;. The password can be left <strong>blank</strong>. In a few Linksys routers (depending on the model) the password can be &#8220;admin&#8221;. You can lookup your model <a title="Default Passwords List" href="http://www.phenoelit-us.org/dpl/dpl.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</li>
<li>Click on the &#8220;<strong>Internet Setup</strong>&#8221; wizard.</li>
<li>Choose your connection type from the drop-down menu. Choose &#8220;DHCP&#8221; for dynamic IP (non-static), this includes most basic cable or DSL modems. If you are unsure of these options, check with your ISP.</li>
<li>Set the<strong> name of your wireless network</strong> (SSID) to identify the router and change the password.</li>
<li><strong>Encrypt your wireless network</strong> using WPA or WPA2 standards. Under the &#8220;Wireless Security&#8221; option, enter a passphrase you will remember.</li>
</ol>
<p>Thats it! The most difficult of these steps are the last three. Wireless security is very important as most ISPs will hold the account holder (thats YOU!) accountable for sharing copyrighted content on popular filesharing networks. In addition this will help keep the spammers off your network and keep your computers safe from prying eyes.</p>
