second network?

I already operate my PC & LTop with an unsecured wireless network. How do I
set up a second secure network before deleting the original??

Firstly you need to set up a WEP key on the wireless router. You usually
access that by typing in something like http://192.168.0.1 in your Web
browser. Consult the manual for your router on how to do it. Then, when your
pc tries to connect (reboot the machine after rebooting the router) it will
ask you for the WEP key. So you need to write it down!

Hi
Wireless security has nothing to do with the Network per-se. It is a
function between the Wireless components. I.e. you can delete or build many
networks, but none of it has to do with the Wireless Encryption.
From the weakest to the Strongest..
No Security
MAC
WEP
WPA-PSK
WPA-AES
WPA2

The security must be set according to lowest capable Wireless component.
I.e. even most of you Wireless are capable to do WPA2, but one device is
only capable to do WEP, the whole system must be configured to WEP.
