With old cable natwork its extremely difficult for anyone to steal your bandwidth, but with Wireless Network its too easy to acess your Wi-Fi router if it not secure.
So here is FIVE Steps to secure your Wireless/Wi-Fi Network...To protect your Wi-Fi Network, you need to access your wireless router’s settings. You can do this by typing in “192.168.1.1” into your web browser in address box, and then enter the correct Username and Password for the router.(you can ask you internet service provider or check your router’s user manual.)

Almost all routers have an administrator password that's needed to log into the device and modify any configuration settings. Most router's access point use a weak default password (like password, pass ext.) or don't have any password at all, your first step should be to change the default password to something else.
