The process will be different, depending on your router. Generally you would sign in to your router by accessing it through a browser "ex 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.100" are most common and enter the user/password when prompted. if you have not yet set this password try admin as a user and leave password blank or leave user blank with admin as a password.
once you have gained access to your router there will be a tab regarding wireless or wireless security. set it as WPA with the passphrase of your choosing. I say wpa because it is fairly secure with an access key that is not an annoying long string of numbers.
for more specific instruction tell us the model of your router or google "setup wireless with (model of router)"
