Welcome to TSG;
Generally,to secure your home network you would enable some type of encryption.
(wep/wpa etc).This is generally done by logging into your router's admin page,going to wireless security and enabling encryption.WPA would be my choice here.Harder to crack.
Your router user's manual should provide you with a guide to do this.

I think the Belkin site didnt explain that WEP is easily crackable.
