I have just got a wireless network set up and require a little help with security, the router is a D link DI524 and my laptop has a netgear card, the desktop is hardwired into the router so the only wireless part ito the laptop. I am a bit paranoid about security, so if anyone can give me a bit of help it would be much appreciated.

And have u put a key in for both?
