How to Enable Encryption?

[Guest]

Hey, so I'm finally getting the security going for my small home network and I was checking the manual for my wireless router and it says enable encryption, but doesn't say how. Any help? Is this an OS thing or is it in the networking software? 

 

edit - it looks like it's a networking software thing, not sure if there's work required for the OS side of things too

1. What router?

2. What encryption? Wireless encryption? You should enable that.

Linksys WRT54G2, not sure if that's good or not

Does your wifi network have a password? if it does, you've already enabled encryption.

 

You also probably want to get something that's from the current decade.

Yeah it's a pretty old one, but it has WPAII enterprise and I'm only using it to connect like 4 devices, so I mean it should work fine, is there a problem with it that I'm not aware of? I'd love to hear it because I want a very secure access
