Do you have the CD that came with the router? If yes, use it to setup the router wireless settings, including broadcast name (SSID) and passphrase.

The manual is here: NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614v8 Reference Manual

The bottom of page 2-8 tells you how to setup wireless security.

one of the problems it shows it that the "Domain Name Server" needs to be configuered.

DNS should be set to the address of the router, 192.168.0.1. Do you have the CD for the router?

no i dont have the cd it came with i cant find it ill try to look for it. i was able to set up a personal network, but i want to change the password. so i want to redo the network, do i have to reset the router back to factory settings? how do you create multiple networks for use or is there only one that you can use per router. it allows that option but i can only setup one network that has a ssid, can i create another one with a different ssid.

One per router. Look through the manual as I suggested in my previous post for how to setup/change the pass phrase (what you need to enter to connect to the router). The password is what you need to login to the router.

ok thanks for all the help
