securing a wireless network

[marine boy]

having just gone wireless at home how do i secure the network so that only my 3 computers can access the network. i am better with dive kit than computers.

Acces your router settings and set up a secure key. This will allow only you to access.

Different routers do this in differnet ways but following the on screen wizards usually work.

I've set up the security on my router, but also restricted it to only accept the three MAC addresses of the machines I have. No one else can even get to the router now, I've tried it! I'm sure there's a way around it, but it'll stop 99% of "passers by".

Make sure you use WPA encryption when given the option.
