How do I change my wireless network password?

Hi some people figured out my wireless network password in my house abd I want to change it. I have a Netgear router and Windows Vista Ultimate so where do I go on my computer to change the access password? Thanks.How do I change my wireless network password?
Log into your router. Set up the password there.





XP


1) Goto Start/Run


2) Type in ';cmd';





Vista


1) Click the Start button


2) Type in ';command';





Once you are in the command prompt:


1)Type in ';ipconfig';


2) In your Internet browser type in ';http://'; followed by your default gateway (found in the command prompt)


***Example: http://192.168.1.1 (try clicking the link)


3) Login (search online for login info) Usually admin, password


3) There should be a link on the side somewhere. It should have several options like WEP, WPA etc.





Another method of security is implementing MAC addressing or dynamically assigned IP addresses.





Regards,

You have to access your router's configuration console to do that. I don't know what is Netgear's way to do it, so i guess you have to read the manuals. Probably through a web browser....
