You need to provide more information. What router or modem are you using?
Take a look at this article (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,130330/article.html)
3 ways. both include logging into your router page which I assume is http://192.168.1.1
1. Log into your router and change its administrator password and username from the default to something else so that others cannot change your settings.
2. Secure your wireless network. Protect it using WPA2 security if available as said in the article. It can usually be found under the link 'Wireless Access', 'Wireless Management' or 'Wireless Security'. Basically under 'Wireless'
3. If your router supports it, enable MAC-Filtering. Each computer has its own unique 'address'. Your laptop or any other wireless enabled equipment has a wireless transmitter and receiver. This is called the 'wireless adapter' or the 'radio', and this has its own 'address' built into it, also know as a MAC-Address (It is in the form of e.g. 00-E3-25-19-4D-12). MAC-Filtering only allows computers with the address that you allow to connect to the router.

Hi Islam Soul
Please can you expand on this?
What do you want to secure?
How physicly do u connect to the internet/ wire from pc straight into wall/ or does the wire from your pc connect into a box then into the wall.
Sklive has given you good sound information if you connect via a router, if so follow his/her advice.
Try and expand on your original post as it will enable other members to give you help as soon as possible.
