Fellas how do you secure your wireless connection? Will it effect the other computer in my house that use the same connection.
Yes. You can use a WEP password. You can create the WEP password in the settings of your router. Once you save those settings, then any computer that connects to your network wirelessly will have to use the password that was provided through the WEP.
right, and this is a one-time setup thing.

If you're the new UK technical expert, I have a job for you that I'll pay you handsomely to get done.
I want a certain members post count to be frozen at 9998.
Let me know if we can do business.

Put your IP address in your browser, it should open a page where you can adjust your settings and add a password to secure your network.

adding security is not an easy step for most. Usually linksys has instructions on how to do it, I would also think their website has printable instructions for your router.

Now seriously:
1. Login to you router: http://192.168.1.1 with admin no password 2. You will see nice WEB page 3. Go to wireless configutaion sheet (link on top) 4. Go to security and use MAC security 5. Run "ipconfig /all" from MSDOS or CMD prompt on all you laptops and PCs with wireless cards. 6. Record your MAC addresse like: 02-00-54-55-4E-01 7. Put all of them in MAC security table and enable MAC security (check checkmark) After this only this laptops/PCs will be able to use your wireless access point

No, no.
I have typed up some instructions for you.. I have a Linksys WRT54G router, you might have a different one, but the gist of it should be the same.
In the address bar of your browser, type in 192.168.1.1
-then put in your name/pass
-hit the wireless tab
-hit 'wireless security'
-hit the security mode drop box and choose WEP
-make sure default transmit key is selected 1
-make sure Wep Encryption is selected at 64bits 10 hex digits
-now type in the passphrase that you want to encrypt *make it something you will remember*
-now hit generate
-now use Key 1 as the WEP password for any computer that connects to your wireless network.

Also good but WEP can be broken and you need to remember password. Why bother...

You missed the most important step. I fixed it though.

Listen Ark.. the KGB isn't going to be hacking into nyny's computer, so he'll be fine.
KGB will not; LOL; but his neighbors and any bystanders will use his network for free at his expense. Not like he will pay more but will pay same for less bandwidth

Or you could just buy a big flashing neon sign that says "Please don't steal my wireless connection", and put it on top of your house. That's what I did. Much easier than the technical stuff.
