CNet has an excellent article on setting up a Wi-Fi network for your home or office. What is great about the article is that it isn't your run-of-the-mill quick-shot tutorial that leaves you with the most basic setup.

This article actually gives you an outline of the necessary steps to securing your network. First, it tells you the obvious: change the wireless router's default password.

But, then it goes on to discuss changing the name of your network using SSID and enabling data encryption using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) or Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

It even discusses MAC address filtering which allows you to limit access to your network to only specific network adapters. Sweet!
