I just got my Router and was wondering if it is possible to set up different users on the Router for the WiFi? Or is it basically a free for all?

I can't find anything on the documentation about it, so I don't know if it CAN do that.
 
Don't think so to be honest. It's not free for all if your wifi link is encrypted. You'd have to set up the Wifi connection on each pc/laptop that you need it on.

Anyone in range won't be able to just connect (unless it's unsecured)

Thanks, that was what I was worried about. :)

You can filter by MAC address IIRC but if you do that make sure you do it in conjunction with WPA encryption, its not very secure on its own.
