By lock I assume you mean secure it.
To do so do the following
-Plug an Ethernet cable from your computer into one of the ports on the back (not the one labeld WAN)
-Verify your default gateway. Open a command prompt by click "start" > run or "windows" button, and type cmd
-type ipconfig and remeber the default gateway should be like 192.168.0.1
-open a web browser and enter that number into the address bar
-you will be prompted for a user and password. (should be either admin, no password or admin/admin)
-Go to the wireless > wireless security tab
Select your security Choose WPA2 with PSK
- create a strong password alphanumeric
- Save and you are now "locked"
You will then need to go into Network Connections/Network and Sharing and enter the password you created.
A recent firmware update has changed the user to"blank" and password of admin, If the router was setup at one point and you need to reset it locate the button (it's in a hole) you will need a paper clip. Press it for about 10 seconds this will reset the user and password to the default
