You need to access the Router web interface and set the wireless security on
the router first then Write down the WPA/WEP key you will create exact on a
piece of paper then access the other PC that will connect wirelessly to the
Router and locate the SSID name of your wireless Network and Double click you
will be prompted for the key.
Here are some links will help you to know how to assign a security Key:
