I assume you mean a wireless router? If so, you need to enable a password for access. Right now, it sounds like you're running the router open, so anyone close enough can steal your bandwidth.

I dont want to set a password, because i am using it as an access point for another router. Is there anyother way?

Can't you set the other router to use the password? - you should really password-protect a network, using WPA. It should also be possible to set the main router only to accept connections from specified MAC addresses (the addresses of wireless cards, nothing to do with Macintosh) so that it would only accept connections from your computer and router.
