Change the username and password of the configuration page of the wireless access point/router.
Each wireless router or access point has a built-in configuration page, usually in the form of an internal webpage accessed from your web browser. Typically, the password is either blank or "admin". You definitely have to change the username and password immediately. You might be surprised that most people do not change either one! You don't want somebody else configuring your access point or router so make sure this info is changed.
Change the default SSID of your wireless router or access point.
Your wireless access point or router comes from the manufacturer with a default SSID that typically is something like "linksys", "netgear", or "dlink". Change the SSID to something that does not describe the manufacturer or model of the unit. Specific units may have known weaknesses or configuration loopholes so don't give the hacker a hint on which unit you have. An additional reason to change the SSID is that if a neighbor has the same model as you, and both models are set at their default configurations, the two units might interfere with each other
.
Disable broadcasting of your SSID.
Most wireless access points and routers broadcast their SSID to everyone. This makes it easy to connect to the network, however, it announces the SSID to everyone saying "A wireless network is here, come find me". If possible, disable the broadcasting of the SSID. This makes your wireless access point or router invisible to most people. You'll have to manually input the SSID into your wireless client computer since it won't show up automatically as an available wireless network. This isn't much of a problem if your client connection software allows you to create a profile that saves the wireless connection settings. If people don't know you are using wireless, the more secure you are.
Change the channel number from default.
Pick any channel number that is different from the default channel number. This prevents people from simply going with the default channel and also prevents interference if other people own the same model as you do

If you mean wireless Internet, look at the manual for your wireless router or modem, and set it up as described for WEP security, and she can't use it any more. This simply involves adding a "password" code, and then you have to give the same code to all your computers and no one else can access. When ther router receives a signal with no code, it ignores it.

Normal people language. Okay, here's what you do. You go up to him all nice & friendly, position yourself just right, then rare back as hard as you can with your dominant leg, and kick him in the groin. It would help if you had on pointed-toe or steel-toe boots. When the toe of your boot makes contact with his family jewels, he'll immediately bend over toward you. As he's bent over, punch him in the back of the head (it would help here if you had a club, bat, steel knuckles, etc.) and that should drive him on down to the ground. If you've landed the kick just right, he'll keep on going till he falls to the ground on his knees, then over on his side into the fetal position. As he's laying there in the fetal position, yell, "STOP ACCESSING MY WIRELESS SYSTEM!!!" Hope this helps!!!

Lock your wireless router. Look in the instruction booklet/cd on how to create a password to access it.

you want to enable encryption on your wireless router. preferable WPA not WEP. You will need to put in a code in the router, write it down! Restart the router and go to your wireless adapter connection program and set the profile to use the same security method and put in the code you wrote down.

While you may not be using a Linksys product, this article will provide some basics principles to help you secure your network. You might call the hardware vendor for your wireless router or attend their website for more specific configuration info.

you need to password protect users, and use encryption (WPA) not WEP (which is easy to crack) on your router, get into the options/administration file and change the default password to a secure one of your own. also, make sure your router and the local host (your computer are on the same settings, ports, and have handshake recognition, etc,) all this is explained (and very easy to follow) at this site: www.grc.com/SecurityNow
