i'm using linksys wireless router. i want to put a password on my wireless connection so other people can't use it without my permission. so, only people who know that password can use it.
*step by step instruction will be more helpful or links.

I am not sure if you are using the same linksys router that i had, but i'll put the instructions anyways.
1, Login to router set-up by typing 192.168.1.1.
2, Go to the "Wireless" tab
3, Go to the "Wireless Security" tab
4, You will need to enter a password you would like to use and click on the generate button to create a WEP key, That will be your password for the other computer/s so remember it. (I advise you write down all the settings from that page, ie the encryption method etc as you may need it to set up the other computer/s.)
5, Save your settings. Go to the other computer/s and go through the setup screen (i cannot tell you exactly what to do as i don't know what wireless adapters you use) Somewhere in the setup it will ask for the WEP key, just enter it in there.
Some setups let you use the password you entered into the setup rather than the WEP key, but you will have to see for yourself.
Hope that helps,
Regards,
Sam.
