Unsecured

I have recently set up a wireless network on my home computer through a DLINK
router. When I look at "wireless networks", it comes up DLINK unsecured
wireless network. This does not sound right, how to I go about fixing this if
it is wrong, don't know very much about networking.

You have security link ( security page after that ) when you configure your
router with browser ( IE )

Generally speaking you'll need to go to the router setup page. If you don't
know the address of your router try, Clicking on | Start | run... | CMD
[Enter] | In the pop-up window type ipconfig [Enter] You should see a line
that begins Default Gateway.......:192.168.xxx.xxx Enter this value in
Internet Explorer as http:\\192.168.xxx.xxx to go to your dlink setup pages.
If you are asked for a username/password try Admin and Admin You'll want to
enable WPA or WEP if that is all that is available to you. Check out the
link that Jack gave you.
