  There should be an option on your router for a WEP key. It will prevent anyone from accessing your wireless network unless they know that key.

  Protecting you Wi-Fi connection is just a matter of setting some options in your router to activate network authentication and encryption and to set your Wi-Fi card on your PC to reflect the new network configuration.
  Generating random passwords could require setting up a RADIUS server in your network, as long as you do not want to use a pre-shared key.

  Since this is a development question, I sugest you to ask it in the Visual C# General Forum at the following address

  Also take a look at the following links
