Answer 1

You need to access your router's settings.

This is usually done by using your web browser and by typing 192.168.1.1 or similar into the address bar (Check with your router maker's website).

You should then follow the options to enable wireless security - your router maker's website should have a complete manual or instructions to do this.

Answer 2

on the back of your router you should find a number something like 192 /168/01 example only put this into your web browser without being connected to the web  your user name will be admin and your password will be password follow the instructions on screen from there hope this helps i had the same problem and this worked for me
