Airport Express: Securing Network

Hello - I recently purchased the Airport Express to connect my MacBook and MacBook Pro wiressely via a cable modem Internet connection. I installed the Airport Express CD to both computers and have the Internet up and running.

My question is security.
By installing the disk, is the wireless network available only to the my 2 computers? (I'm doubting this ... but I don't know)

If not, can someone explain to me how to secure my wireless network using Airport Express?

The reason I don't think I'm secure is ... when I click to see if I'm connected, my connection does not show a lock ...

Thanks for any help!

Open airport utility on either of your Macs.

Click Manual Setup - Wireless 'tab'

I'd suggest using WPA2 Personal security and 802.11n 5Ghz if it's just your two Macs on the network.

Thanks mrplow ... one question to clarify if you are around ... can you refresh me on where to open airport utility? is that in systems preferences?
