I need to know how to configure the security settings for my laptop secured with a wireless router & domestic printer on a network in an apt building

I live in an apartment bldg & want to know if my phone is secured with a wireless router & domestic implementation of a network. I have a laptop HP under Win 7 pro, a desktop computer using XP, & a wireless Canon printer? I use Microsoft Security Essentials for security. Can you tell me the right settings to ensure the safety of my business? And if I use the 'Public' library in documents others may see them outside my home network?

Personal information and files on your wireless network can sometimes be seen by people to pick up the signal from your network. This can lead to identity theft and other acts of violence. A network security key or password can help protect your network against this type of unauthorized access wireless. Refer to this article for more information:

Public folders are a convenient way to share files on your computer. You can share files in the public folders with other people using the same computer and with people using other computers on your network. Any file or folder you put in a folder Public is automatically shared with the people who have access to your public folders.
