There are many different kinds of security. All machines generally need to
share a common speed, and a common security type. You may just need to
discover all wireless networks, and pick your router from the list shown to
be able to set a password. But you'll need to know the type of security
being used WEP, WPA, WPA-2, etc.
The router can also be setup to reject all but some MAC address trying to
connect to it.
