make sure that you use a network key. if nothing is set then go into the security setup on your router and set either WEP or WPA (better) and don't pick an easy password.

If you don't have WPA encryption enabled, it's not.
To check, access the settings of your wireless router by opening your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and typing in the right IP address, for example:
Linksys, Trendnet IP is http://192.168.1.1
Netgear, D-Link IP is http://192.168.0.1
Belkin, USRobotics IP is http://192.168.2.1
Enter the default or your unique username and password. Then, look for the security settings for your wireless connection and set it to “WPA” or “WPA-PSK, TKIP” and make your own passphrase. Then, double click on your laptop's wireless connection's icon in the system tray and connect manually to the now "secure wireless network" entering the passphrase that you set up in the router.
TIP: WEP isn't secure, but is better than nothing.
Still stuck? Look in the wireless router's manual to learn how to secure your connection, and only then, call the router manufacturer.

log on to your router, set the WPA password to a 16bit character, turn of uUpNp. use mac filtering etc, assign IP address. look on your router for the different options you have and research them x

Can you see a closed padlock on your settings page. if so then you should be secure.
