How can I modify Wireless Security for NVG510?

Hi nettie

I was able to locate your U-verse account and I see the gateway (modem) you have the Motorola NVG510 and you are correct, it is a fairly simple process. Here are some steps that will help you secure your network.

• Open a Web browser and enter http://192.168.1.254 into the address bar.
• Choose the Home Network tab at the top
• Choose the Wireless sub-tab underneath
• It may ask for a Device Access Code. By default, it is located on a sticker on the modem.
• On the Security Drop down, change it to WPA-PSK or WEP-Manual
• In the field marked Key, type in the password you wish to use
• Click Save before leaving this page and that will cause your network be secured with your own password.
  

Here is a picture of what it should look like. (Screenshot attached below, click image to enlarge)

Hi morgan b

Thank you for the information. I didn't want to do anything that would mess up

my modem or cause a cancellation of my service.
