1. Open the command prompt, and enter "ipconfig"
2. Read the IP address of the "default gateway"
3. Enter this IP address into your web browser.
4. Log in, and then look for Wireless Encryption.
5. For the best security, use WPA2, or just regular WPA (both are very good). For very low security, you can use WEP.
Cheers

In addition, we (well, OK... I) babble at some length about other router/WiFi security settings in this thread.
