ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless-N: How to setup security

Last response: in Wireless Networking
Share

I have never used wireless networking before so I'm sort of clueless. I installed the ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless-N adapter in my Windows 7 64b computer so I can use the wireless Epson WorkForce 545 All in one printer. I finally got everything working and the printer prints. My problem is I want to make sure my wireless network is secure so none of my neighbors can hook up to my computer but I can't for the life of me figure out what to do or how to set up the security settings. My icon in the system tray shows I'm connected but it has a yellow triangle and says it's unsecured. How do I set up the security settings so hopefully I'm protected from intruders?

Thank you,
Jake

I just signed into the http://192.168.1.254 address and printed out the connection information. By the way I just realized I am not able to print to the Epson printer like I thought I could. It showed to be connected and set up after running the wireless set up wizard on the printer but when I tried to print out that Connection Information it wouldn't print to it.
