Is linksys suppose to be an unsecured network?

Question

I just recently got wireless internet. I have a linksys router thingy, and its always unsecured. I asked my friend about it, he said that comcast set it up for you, so its suppose to be unsecure. Is that true? How can I secure it?

Answer 1

You can secure it if you select a password for it. Connect Directly to the router with a ethernet cable and connect to the IP address in a web browser. You enter this into the web browser that is connect with the ethernet cable

http://192.168.1.1/

Then you search in security for a place to password protect.
