Connect a computer to the router with an ether-net cable. this will keep the connection from reseting while you change the settings.
open a web browser on that computer and in the address bar type 192.168.0.1
then press enter.

this will take you to the routers configuration page

click on wireless
then click on home

enable WEP

if this is for home use choose 128 bit encryption.

under key type chose HEX

under key one create a key of your choosing. it must be 26 characters long and can only have the these characters in it. 0123456789ABCDEF

once you have created a key, click apply then click continue to save your changes.

You should download and read manual pages covering Using the Configuration Menu that begins on page 10. Securing your wireless is detailed starting on page 12 for WEP, page 13 for WPA (only if you have a Radius Server - most likely not) and page 14 for WPA-PSK.

Nearly all devices support the older WEP encryption method. The downside is that it is easily defeated with software in under 10 minutes. A much better, more robust method is WPA-PSK. It can not be defeated (yet). If you choose WPA-PSK, any device that you connect wirelessly to this router MUST support WPA-PSK as well, otherwise it will NOT be able to connect.

I hope this helps and good luck. Please rate my reply, thanks.

How can i passwpord protect my wireless connection

Re-do the "configuration" -- there is an option for 'SSID' and "pass-phrase" and "password", after you choose 'WEP' or 'WPA' or 'WPA2' as your "encryption" method.

How to reset the router

Between the ethernet * power ports is a tiny hole. Inside this hole is the reset button for this device (looks to fit perhaps a paperclip). Here is a link to the user manual for any further questions with this device : ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Gateway/di614%2B/Manual/DI-614%2B_manual_06292005.pdf

How do i set a password to protect my wireless internet

Access the Router's page and go to Wireless configuration. You may assigned a WEP key that uses hexadecimal value (A-F, 0-9). So if someone attempts to access your Wireless network, they will prompt to enter a Wep key.
