How do I make my Wireless Network Connection Secure?

martyvice · 11-26-2006, 05:08 AM

I just bought a wireless router and have two desktops and a laptop connected via ethernet, and I want to connect my PS3 wireless if possible.

I got it set up and internet works on all computers, but my question is how do I make it secure?

I thought I had to make a password and type it into all my computers?

How do I do this?

Thanks

Log into the router and go to the security tab. There are tons of options available, and it should show you how to setup each type.

Thanks, I encrypted it and changed the password.
