Hello,

I have a Linksys wireless broadband router. I have 2 desktop computer's one in the livingroom and one in the bedroom. Everytime you try to get onto the interet on the one in the bedroon you have to connect to a network. When I try connect to a network two networks come up . My network and another persons. Mine network says Unsecured and his says Secured. How do I get my network to be Secured.

That is done by setting up the proper settings in the 'Wireless Security' tab of the router. You want to enable 'WPA-PSK' and then enter a key or password. Then, when you try to connect to your router, it will ask for the password you supplied and then encrypt all of your communications over the air to your Linksys unit.
