If everything you plan to connect to the router supports it, enable WPA-PSK wireless encryption on the router. Use a key that would be difficult for anyone to guess. It is usually easier to initially set up the wireless configuration using a wired connection to the router

You didn't specify which model of DLink you have. You will need that, and get to their web site to download the manual.

If after you enable WPA Personal in the router, and your wireless computers can't see the network, change the channel to 6. I had that problem on one D-link router, and changing the channel fixed the problem.
