Help!!

I had to reset my Belkin wireless router the other day. Now I notice it is not password protected, and the whole world can use my wifi!

How can I add password? i am running Windows 7

TIA

    login to the router page... usually 192.168.1.1 or such ....quick search on Google will provide belkin router setup. then ensure wep encryption is setup too. u might wanna disable broadcast of SSID too.

    unsure of that; i would do a quick google search for belkin setup guide; the belkins do usually come also with a printed manual guide; they also offer telephone support .....
