Hi, I just received my linksys WRT54GL. I bought it to replaced my linksys BEFSR41 router because of the wireless feature. I have 3 laptops and an xbox 360 on it, they are all hooked to the ethernet. The wireless will not be used all the time, but it will be used. How do I set up security for it. I am no where near and expert at networking, I just know my around a little. I see all types of setting but I don't know which ones to set. I have comcast cable, and Windows XP media.

Is there a way to tell if someone is trying to use or is using my wireless access. Like a neighbor.

thank you for the suggestion on which router to get and thank you for your time.
