When we take an Internet connection from any service provider they are actually giving your PC a temporary IP address. So when we accessing the Internet facilities we are actually in a public network. This public network can be accessible by anyone and having less security measures.
If our modem is WiFi enabled then the signal can be accessible to any one within the range. So the primary security measure to secure your WiFi network is to set a secret password on the network. When a secret password is set for your network it will ask the security key before connecting any device.
