If it is a wireless router, meaning you don't actually have to connect to the router with a "wire" then you can set up a password to secure the access to your connection. It will ask for a WEP, which means that the connection is encrypted and no password means no connection. Who set up the router? It is not too difficult to set up, just google WEP and I bet you could get instructions. Also may have a set up guide if you still have instructions for your router or modem...... good luck
