    Hey everyone,..
    Well instead of struggling with my constantly crashing D-link Modem/Router I went out an bought a wireless Router! Little did i know it actually connects to a modem to work..it took me a little to figure it out but luckily i had a bran new modem from my internet provider not getting used! Now I have my competer running of the new router as well as a wireless xbox and a non wireless xbox..i have gone through all the settings and cant find how to put security on the Router! Now i have no idea if i need it or not! But when i hooked the wireless xbox up and said 'connect to an unsecured connection'! So im thinking i should have security on it? But i cant find how to do this!?

    The Router is :- NETGEAR RangeMax Wireless Router WPN824 v3
