Answer 2

Log into your router and look under the security settings. Add WPA encryption - WEP is weaker. You log into your routers IP address in a web browser by typing your Default Gateway in the address bar. To find out your Default Gateway, open the command prompt and type ipconfig /all

Most home routers have an IP address near the beginning of your particular subnet such as http://192.168.1.1 or something very similiar (look at your router's instruction manual or locate the IP address by searching the router model on the manufacturer's website). Different routers have different default username/password combinations, which you will definitely need to look up documentation for. Some do accept blank usernames and/or passwords, depending on the model.
