in the wireless setting of your router you have to enter passphrase and password..they can detect your connection but cannot access..but its not a guarantee anymore bec there is a software that can hack ur wireless...

HI ! It seems that you are very interested in computers ... first of all you have to access your router configuration interface via web browser (mozilla, ie.), usually you have to type the adress (192.168.0.1 is the default setting) of your router in your browser and the configuration interface should appear asking for the username and pass ... by default the username is "admin" and password is blank ... first step in securing your wireless is to change the username and pass of your router (you don't want other people to connect to your router and modify the configuration) ... my advice is to read carefully the manual of your router and follow the instructions to correctly setup your router. The second step is to change the name of your network (BSSID) and make it invisible and select an encryption mode (you have to provide a key for the network). It is better to use WPA2 encryption but you have to check if your wireless client adapter (laptop, workstation) supports this kind of encryption ... anyway even in this circumstances you cannot be shure that nobody will manage to crack your key ... EX: BackTrack3 live CD is a very powerfull tool for cracking networks ... sorry, checking networks vulnerabilities  |

0. Forget about WEP
1. Use MAC address filtering
2. Use hidden AP name (BSID)
3. Use WPA or WPA2 and 63 lenght hex key including "non character" codes like B0, FF, D6....
4. Don't allow remote admin login to the AP
5. Use strong admin password (TAMMU, D-LINK, Beer etc... is not strong one)
6. Keeep your credentials secret.
7. Restrict address range of the DHCP (e.g. from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.7)
