You need to log into your router and go to the wireless settings then in the security options select WPA.

If you don't know your routers address you can try http://192.168.0.1 to see if it's there, usually the details are on the bottom of your router.

It does not matter. Your router address may not be 192.168.0.1 it depends.

I wouldn't worry about that, just log in and secure it if you can.
