How do I set a secure wireless network?

I do not want anyone to connect to my wireless network w/o having to use a
password. I don't want ppl to be able to see my information that I have on my
computer. How do I set my wireless system up so that anyone trying to connect
HAS to use a password to connect?

Hi

Entry Level Wireless Network does not work with passwords. Its work with
Encryption (and few other measures) Only people who have your Encryption
keys (like password) can connect.
