security settings - linksys wireless router

I'm new to the ng, so if I should be posting this to another group, please
advise.
I have a wireless Linksys G router with Speedboost.
Right now it's setup as an unsecured network.
I know how to get to the router; 192.168.1.1, but I don't know how to
enter/setup WEP settings (or for that matter, what they are!).
Is there a web site that can be recommended as a tutorial?
Thank you for the assistance.
Janice

WEP settings are security settings (a key). If you don't use them everyone
can find you netwerk and worse can use it and the equipment attached to it.
You probably will find the WEP key (i think it was a 24 digits number)
somewhere on your router or in the documentation that came with it.
Fill in the key and your network can be set up.
Good luck

You should make up your own WEP key and use it when connecting your wireless
devices to the router. (A long sequence of random letters, numbers, and
underscores should be sufficient.)

Is there a web site that can provide tutorials on setting up routers?
