Check out the wireless security FAQ:

http://www.iss.net/wireless/WLAN_FAQ.php

That probably has all the info you want.

Subject: securing my new wireless router

So I've ordered a wireless router for home....I'm quite sure that it ships
"wide open" with no security set....I was wondering if any of you could be
kind enough to offer suggestions or point me towards any good articles on
securing my new wireless environment. i'd like to find a mix of both theory
and checklist stuff.....so I can secure it and understand the what's and
whys.

Thanks,

chris
