Use an ethernet to connect your PC or laptop to your router (not modem).

(Dlink):If you have a Dlink go to dlink.com and the site will have a link that says connect to your router, when you click on it, it will send you to a website that looks like 26.20.1.16 The site will ask you to login.

Your login information is always: Username - Admin and there isn't a password (if doesn't work your password is 0000)

You will then proceed to a page that says setup connectivity, Password protection, etc.

Because your question was really general I am going to assume you mean password or invisibility or limit to PC usage, All of which is under security.

In security it will give you the option to make you signal invisible (meaning you need to remember your wireless name and password to connect to it)

If you want to have a password use WEP. WPA and WPA2 (which are forms of security based on an encryption key) will require passwords.

If you what to take off the Rating block you can also do that here as well.
