enable WPA encryption in the router.
the next time you connect with your notebook, the router will ask for the passphrase.

First login in your router and then put a password on your wireless router!

This is horribly easy to crack, though...

MAC whitelist-filtering will keep people out most of the time. But if you want security, you shouldn't be using wireless.

I'm using wireless, too. My point was that WPA/WEP is pretty much completely pointless.
