hi i've just set up a wireless network , i want it to be secure
the problem is the router i've got was given to me by a friends uncle and i dont think he got it legally , all websites say i should look at a manual to see how to secure it. i'm on windows xp. Is there any other way to secure my network or do i have to buy a new legal router
