I just changed everything it asked me to and wrote them down.

[edit]

You mean change the SSID?

How to secure your wireless network

Keep Your Wireless Network Really Secure

Configuring your wireless network to use WPA-Personal is the first step to better security. I also strongly suggest that you use all available means to protect your wireless network. Here's my complete list of steps you can take:•
Use a WPA passphrase of a minimum of 20 random characters. You can use up to 63 characters in a WPA passphrase. WPA-Personal is vulnerable to dictionary attacks, in which hackers try to connect to your wireless network by using WPA passphrases based on common words, easily configurable strings, or known information about you. Therefore, don't use any common words or phrases, easy sequences of characters (such as all "1"s), or personally-identifiable information for the WPA passphrase. Always use random strings composed of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and if allowed, special characters such as punctuation. For extra security, consider changing the passphrase periodically.
•
Never use the default SSID provided by the manufacturer.
•
Change the default password provided by the manufacturer for administrator access to the access point or wireless router. Some routers let you change the administrator name as well.
•
Place the access point or router in the center of your home and not near a window.
•
Turn off administrative access over wireless if possible. If you do, you'll need to connect to your router with a wired Ethernet connection when you want to make configuration changes.
•
Turn off remote administrative access over the Internet on your router if possible and if it's not already off by default. You can use Remote Desktop to make an encrypted connection to a computer running behind your router and make configuration changes from the local computer you are accessing over the Internet.
•
To avoid accidentally connecting to your neighbor's wireless network, turn off the setting to automatically connect to non-preferred networks. This is disabled by default in Windows XP.
