There are several security options for wireless. The simplest is called WEP. WPA is better. Either is WAAY better than none. Unless you don't mind people accessing your network and/or stealing your bandwidth. It's a fairly big subject and I am only an amateur. Obviously a lot of variables with which operating system you have and the router. Assuming Windows XP, there is a lot of info in the help etc and wizards to set up the connections. Goggle is your friend!

It is not fancy, but it lets her machine work when mine is turned off. Question... how do I add security to it? Many thanks.
