Is it possible to password protect a sweez connection?

I am finding people are stealing my connection and its bad enough sharing between 4 people for others to steal it.
Is it possible to force people who want our wireless network to have to enter a password?

What model Sweex router have you got?

We can probably talk you through setting up wireless security...

thanks for the very quick reply

this is the only place i could think to add a password but i dont understand it ( hopes the image tag shows on this forum)

OK, choose WPA-PSK in the top panel...

There should be somewhere for you to enter the PSK (pre-shared key, basically your password).

At this point, when you apply the settings you'll lose the connection to the router. So you'll need to put the same settings in your wireless NIC so you can reconnect...

Unless you're connected wired at the moment of course...
