what you're looking for is a "wireless encryption key".I reccomend using linksys.com as a resource for this. Depending on your router, you'll find setup wizards to assist you with configureing wireless security.Here are some key settings you'll want select (if prompted to set in the wizard):WPA (not WEP) --may not be able to use WPA2 with XP 128 Bit (not 64) passphrase or key: don't use a dictionary word. and remember there are two "passwords" on your router. One is the router admin password that gives you access to setup the router. The second is the wireless key or passphrase.
