How to create a password on your Wi-Fi or wireless router?

Here’s a simple guide to protect your Wireless or Wi-Fi router from unauthorized access of your Internet connection using Windows, Mac or Linux/Ubuntu.

I have bought a wireless router in my home so that everybody in the house can access the internet with ease and hassle-free.

After a week, I have noticed that my internet speed went slower than usual, so when I checked the router's status by logging on to http://192.168.1.1 (Linksys default), I have noticed that there are more computers or laptops already been accessing my wireless router. So what I did, I created and placed a password or enabled the password so that it will block the unauthorized computers to access my wireless router and even the internet.
