can this router be secured so my neighbors can't use it?

yes when you log in to router with 192.168.1.1 (default) username: admin (default) pass: password.there is a option called wireless settings in that you can give your wireless a name and assign passphrase so it can be secured and nobody else can use it.

In theory yes. I bought one of these and wss able to set it up excep it wouldn't broadcast a wireless signal. You should look for a different product!!!!!

Yes. The primary way of securing the connection from the device to the router is the WPS button that sends a wireless signal to the device in lieu of a password during the authentication process. In addition, during the first time router setup process a 12 digit alphanumeric password is provided for you to use when later on you are trying to connect some device. All this is explained in the setup process which can be downloaded, along with the User Guide, from the Neatgear website.

The way this item was advertised was as an exceptionally powerful router, which in reality it is not. It is such that I am not using it since the router supplied by the ISP is more powerful than this item. I don't think it will solve your problem specially if your home is built of concrete. The item I received is a plain Belkin N600 Router

I had the same issue, so what I did I changed the router to WEP instead of WPA or WPA2 and it has been working fine ever since,, I know security wise is not good but had to make it work some how,, Hope it helps for you too, try it don't have nothing to lose!

Hey, if you have permission than it is not pirated signal smart guy. Anyway his router needs to be located in a position to provide you with optimal WiFi signal and yes you may need an amplifier to achieve good signal. The Hughs dish has nothing to do with your home as if is positioned to get internet from the satellite in the sky.

This is completely inside of your network. You'd use an Ethernet port from your wi-fi router's inside network ports to the single port unit and then have the four port unit at another spot in the house. As mentioned in reviews, make sure it's directly connected to the wall (not a power strip) at each end. I'd also make sure you regenerate the encryption keys by hitting the button on both ends within 60 seconds of each other just in case a neighbor has purchased a similar device.

Basically, yes. I have my unit in a retail location. It's plugged in to my switch which is connected to the firewall. I have it locked down with WPA2

This router is secure already, but it's not like your home router which is encrypted.however, when you configure it, it will ask you for a password , so you choose the one that your computer registers... It needs to be connected to a Ethernet port... In order for it to work!

The encryption is provided by the router the hub is attached to, in my case it is WPA2.

For maximum network security I would NOT open any ports on your router. A safer way to do it would to use a VPN enabled router and then VPN in to your home network. With this setup just use the App as you wold if you were a home. You will need some Internet "savy" though.

You can turn it off on the router setup page. There is a check box to turn it off.

In order to setup this device, you will have to be able to connect to the router's signal your are trying to extend. If you cannot see the signal of the router in the basement, then unfortunately you will be unable to properly setup the device.

I think not. Wasn't positive, just read manual. No mention of secured channels.

Simple answer is yes. It gets to be a question of just how portable you need your router to be.

The range is well above 1600 ft. In fact your neighbors will be in range if you don't use your security included with router, they'll be able to piggy back on your signal.

Absolutely, mine picks up neighbors signal from three houses away. Just aim the antenna towards the router.

You would need access to your neighbor's router as administrator to: assign a static address to the CyberStat and open the access to the CyberStat from outside the home network or router firewall. Your neighbor's router has an (outside) Internet address. Use http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to find out that address while on your neighbor's network. The directions tell you how to do this. There is also a website provided for Help.

As long as you put your router ssid in the config for this device it will work fine. It does not need to be broadcasted.
