Basically you need to go into the configuration page of you router using your web browser and go to the wireless security settings page. Most routers are all similar to each other. You will be looking to turn on WPA2 encryption and enter a password to secure it. Some routers call it WPA2-PSK. The PSK stands for public shared key.

It will be easier if you tell us what router you have first though. Was it supplied by your ISP, if so who is your ISP?
the router we have is a 'peak' one - we got it when we bought the laptop and my ISP is virgin..the instructions for it were very basic really..didnt tell you much more than how to plug it together..nothing about unsecured network...really stumped as wireless stuff is new to me!
