That is a security key so people that are not allowed on the wireless network can not get on.

If you do not know the person that owns the wireless access point you will not get on.

IF you do know the person ask them for the key.
 
"Bigpond" is simply the name of the wireless network setup by the user.

I make it difficult or basically impossible for unknown users to access my wireless network.

1. I use a complex password that's over 16 characters long and has some symbols and numbers. Easy for me to remember.

2. Additionally, I setup my router to only allow devices with specific MAC addresses to be able to access the wireless network. Every wireless device be it a phone, laptop, PC, gaming console has a unique MAC address and can be added to an access list.

Non-tech savvy people probably only use a password; #1 from above.

Most tech savvy people and others who are more concerned about security perform #1 & #2.
