Allow new devices: New stations are allowed (automatically). *THIS HAS AN OPTION OF NOT ALLOWING NEW STATIONS* HAVE I DONE THE RIGHT THING??

Can you connect to the internet with it?

[Chosen1985]

Yes I can, I was just wondering if it looks secure to you experts

I would remove the check from Broadcast Network.  If you want it secure then don't broadcast it.  Other than that it looks fine to me.

Chosen1985, I have the same router as you with the same SSID don't know if it's because we share the same ISP but anyway yes you have properly configured it and as Quantos has said it's up to you if you want your network broadcast, I leave mine on as I know that WPA2 is the very best encryption and would take a hacker many years to gain access to your particular network so you are safe Gary, but just make sure you're encyption key is at least 20 characters long with a mix of letters, numbers, and also include + and = signs etc. If you want more help email me:
