Im trying to create a security passwird and user id to my internet through my dlink so anyone outside of my hosue does not have access to my 2 laptops. I was told to go to browser and type 192.168.0.0 and I'm getting everything but what I need. What is the steps for security to make a password and user id so no one can access my internet?

If you really want secure passwords, the best way I know of to get them is go here:

But be warned, you will NOT be able to remember the passwords because they defy the brain's ability to store information!

If you're not sure how to set it up, D-Link provides some simulators on the router itself.
Here is an example of one: http://support.dlink.com/emulators/dir655/133NA/Device_Info.html

It lets you play around with settings before you actually implement them on your router

Once you log into your router,
Go to "Setup" -> Wireless setup -> Manual wireless network setup
Under Wireless network name, change it from Dlink to something more obscure

And under "Security mode" change it to WPA2-Personal/WPA-Personal, set yourself up a decent password (you can use infoguy's link or make your own up, the more complex, the better).

Hope that helps
