How do I 'secure' my Linksys wirreless router?

We need to know the model please.

Some of them have a little CISCO Button on the left side of the front, which actually doesnt look like a button at all, but once you update the firmware it lights up ( all pretty n stuff ) and when you push it, you better have every wireless adapter plugged in and the machines running, cause it will no longer allow anything that doesnt have that mac address or some other setting on the network, only that 1 will be seen.

The concepts are the same for all models. Only the procedures may vary from make to make.

I was facing an issue while trying my newly purchased Linksys WRT54G router that I was trying to hook up to my Dell 8300. The issue I faced was with the Administration page and with auto setup, both not working, What's the reason behind that. I also tried Linksys Default Password , from where I caught many updates regarding the Linksys Router.
