how do,

i've got bluyonder and one PC, and at christmas 1 new laptop (with WLAN).

i want a wireless router to give internet access to laptop and ideally just connect a newtork cable to my pc from router as they are on the same desk.

but before i go into all that, how secure are wireless networks. i've connected to a neighbours before via someone else's laptop.

is it not possible to have it password protected? such a simple feature must be possible.

by the way i will probably get the netgear WGR614 as its the same price as the Linksys 54G

cheers
