It is recommended that wireless router / access point setup be always done though a wired client.
You can setup security through the following steps:
Change the default admin password on wireless router / access point to a secured password.
Change your WEP keys periodically.
Change the channel your routerused for sending and receiving data on a regular basis.
Use encryption such as WEP and WPA. Where equipment is not supported, at least 128-bit WEP encryption, you should.
Change the default SSID of your router / access point to a hard to guess name. Setup your computer device to connect to this SSID by default.
Setup router / access point not to broadcast the SSID. The same SSID must be setup on the client side manually. This function is not availableon all devices.
On any computer with a wireless card should be configured the network connection properties, to allow connection to Access Point Networks Only too.
