2 ways, first automatic way open control pane and click wireless network setup, plug a usb flash drive into your comp and save the settings to that (can be a mp3 player/ipod) unplug the usb drive and plug it into every computer on the network and run the setup, now go bacvk to the host comp and plug the usb drive back in, run the program, there will be a word file in there, open it and copy the network key in the file, open your web browser and type 192.168.0.1 in the adress bar, that should connect you to your router, fill in the password box, username default is admin and password should be pass on the wireless settings click the data encryption box select wep,

network authenication to open,select the key 1 box paste the key from the word document, logout from the then go to network connections from the start menu, right click the wireless connection and select properties, pick the name of your connection from the networks tab then properties, change network authentication to open, data encrption to wep and select key 1 click ok and that should secure your network,

 

other way is type 192.168.0.1 into the browser adress bar and configure it manually
