Network Key

How do I get a network key that secures my surfing so as no one can access
my computer while on line. I bought a Acer laptop for my wife and have a
Belkin roughter but notice that it can be accessed as there is no network
key. Regards Jim Cummings

You need to set up encryption in the router. Here are some links to help
you. You can also refer to the router's manual. If you don't have a manual,
there will be one on Belkin's site for that particular router.

Set one up yourself. Go into the Router set-up screen (see the manual on how
to do this) and set your own key.
