Very simple request on Linksys.

I have a Linksys wireless router (BEFW11S4), for which I am trying to make as secure as possible. I am no tech wiz, and the terminology and instructions I find in various Internet sources are of little help (i.e., MAC filtering, what is that?). My setup is very simple. One desktop PC and one laptop using a Linksys wireless card. That's it. What do I do, enter, and where, at the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 to make my setup as secure as possible? I changed the SSID to something else, and turned off SSID Broadcast, but doing that terminates access to the laptop.

Thank you for answering what I am sure is a very elementary question.
