How can I make my wireless network secure?

While setting up your wireless network you also want to be concerned about security. It's a little bit more vulnerable than a wired network is but it doesn't have to be. Several considerations might be the level of encryption that you use. Encryption is measured in bits: 4 byt, 128 byt, 256 byt. The higher you go the more secure it is. So that would be one thing you'd want to consider. Another thing you'd want to consider is making sure that you've changed the default password and that you've put a password in that is appropriate. Another consideration might be a firewall. Some wireless adaptors come with a built-in firewall, and the firewall can either be hardware or software, or you may wish to get another one and the firewall is essentially the gatekeeper to your network.
