Hey everyone;

I've got a quick question I'm asking for someone else. I don't know a whole lot about this networking stuff, but I know that everyone here is very helpful.

My fraternity bro down the hall has a D-Link wireless router so he can walk around and get wireless on his laptop. He's pissed because other people in the house are using his wireless to get on the internet too and it's lowering his bandwidth. He wants to know if there's any way to put a password on the connection so he's the only one that could get on.

Also, I'm not very knowledgable about this stuff at all. Does anyone have any recommendation about where I could go? I tried those links that people mentioned in that Newbie sticky at the top of the board, but even those seem a little advanced. I can't follow what any of them are talking about. I just need a real basic idea of how all this networking stuff works, and what all these terms are.

Thanks everyone!
