How can I set my Linksys WRT54G router so that someone outside on the road
cannot use my wireless to get on the internet?
I have read chapter 6 and app. b of the router manual and still am hesitant
to change the Wireless Security page since I'm not sure what those keys, etc
are.
Thanks.

You need to enable WEP or better yet WPA if your router and wireless network
adapters support WPA as most newer ones sold in the last year or so do. The
keys are what you have to configure on both the router and wireless network
adapters and they are like passwords for hardware devices. WEP is fairly
weak by today's standards and a determined hacker could probably gain access
to your network after capturing packets from your network for a period in
time that could be a relatively short period of time. The link below is to
Linksys support that may be of help. --- Steve
