There are two ways of handling this . . .
1) If you are using a non-wirleless router, then set up an access list or filters for MACs as to which computers can use your router to reach the internet. No passwords can be set, so that is your only option to deny use of your router.
2) If you are using a wireless router you can use its security settings to configure WEP, which is almost exactly like setting a password for computers to access your router. There are better protocols out there, but WEP should do you just fine for now. In addition to using WEP, I would still enable the MAC filtering and/or access list.
Hope this helps.

You can set up mac address filtering. This wil allow only those computers that you specify. The mac address is unique to each computers network adapter card or modem.
To find you mac address type "ipconfig /all" at a command prompt. The address will look something like this:
aa-00-ae-3f-0e
This is an effective means to limit traffic.
If you are wondering - mac stands for media access control...have a good one.
Oh yea - I don't think you can password protect access, but the above method will be even better.

192.168.a million.a million is the IP address for the router itself. once you're saying, it does not arise wisely, please be extra specific? you will desire to make certain displayed a login exhibit, inquiring on your login identity and password. pass away the login identity sparkling, enter admin for the password...till it relatively is been replaced via somebody. as quickly as you get logged in, you will desire to make certain a tab for on the spot. as quickly as contained in the on the spot menu, you will see settings for on the spot risk-free practices. There would desire to be a place so you might head right into a word...something you like...My canines is nice, or something. From that word, a passcode would be generated. it's going to be displayed in 4 strains of numbers. generally, the 1st line of numbers stands out as the default password for connecting wirelessly to the router. sturdy success!

Check your router's instructions. There must be a phone number you can call for help. When I installed my router, I called and they walked me through the process.
