Question password for existing network

Does any one know how i can set up a password on my existing network. I have just found out that other people are using my conneciton and would like to learn how to stop this. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. I have a belkin wireless plus g router model number f5d7231-4. On the computer i have connected to the router I am running vista, I have a computer connected on my home network that is running xp and i also use this connection for my laptop which also is running vista. Hope someone can help me

You need to log into your router and setup encryption (WPA or WPA2 is the best choice). Then you'll need to enter the key you entered for the encryption at the router on your PC when you connect back up to the router.

The manual for the router should have the details for setting up encryption.
