Hello,
I just bought a macbook pro, and i use a linksys wrt54g wireless router to connect to the internet, and this is what i used with my HP pavillion laptop. However i know longer have my hp, and i have my macbook pro, i locked the router with a linksys advisor for windows. I tried to download linksys advisor, but i can not find a mac version. Does anyone know if one exists? or how i can unlock this router from security settings for wireless? please and thank you to all responses!

Don't know, I see no reason to lock a router down unless you use very weak password.
Just reset the router back to factory by holding the reset button down for 10 sec. -
thank you that worked, the only thing i am concerned is someone else connecting to my router and downloading like crazy and slow my internet way down. Any ideas?

Just use a good WEP key, it should do the trick...
If you are really worried you could use WPA as it's stronger...
Or you could hide your SSID that way no one can "see" your Wifi connection...
You should then have to right the exact name of your connection manually on the device you want to connect on... -

WEP is not securty, takes only a couple of minutes to get by it. Use WPA Personal (AES) with a key that is random generated using all printable chr with a length of 20+ chr long. With this key it would take over 24+ yrs at 100k/sec brute force attack. So you will be secure. Also use a strong admin password, using number and letters with a min of 8chrs. I prefer 12 chr.
Wow..Please help
