a,b,c
3,2,1

In my last post I went over how to add a Linksys router to an existing Internet connection. Now we'll go over how to secure the wireless networks so other people can't use it.
Log into the router
You are now logged into the router. You can take a look around see the different options in there. We are mainly concerned with the wireless network so click 'Wireless' at the top and then below that click 'Wireless Security'. We are now editing the wireless security settings for your Linksys router. There are a few choices you can use here, for the sake of keeping this simple I'm just going to use WEP 128bit encryption.
Now your wireless will need the code 12121212121212121212121212 in order to connect. So lets go to your laptop and do the following:
I tried to keep that pretty simple. If you have any questions just leave a comment and I'll help.
