I have set up an actiontec wirelss network for broadband in my home.
When I click the connection icon in the system tray i see my connection
as available but it's status is 'unsecure' other connections listed
are, some not. How can i secure my network so that it is being used by
me and computers in my home?
Any help would be appreciated and i am sorry if i have'nt included som
obvious information, but i will try and provide any i can.
Thanks
