Sorry - Password on wireless connection

[baskey]

i know this should be in the computers bit but no one seems to go there..

i have set up a 'wireless network' for my laptop. it's using a netgear router/modem. anyway how do i password protect the connection - it's not obvious.. is it a windows network thing or should there be a setting on the router settings somewhere..

arrghh help!

sorry - settings of the router itself? thanks.

[baskey]

hurrah - done.

thanks for that cos i didn't know what it was called.

and it am in the next room and it's decreased signal strength by one 'bar'.
