Re: wireless security
firstly if you want people to not gain access to your internet connection
enable the pass key and or you can enable the mac locking but what type of wierless router do you have?

Re: wireless security
Don't use WEP or MAC filtering, as both are easy to bypass. Use a strong
password with either WPA or preferably WPA2. JillAdams wrote: > if I have wireless internet from my internet provider, how can I make > sure that I have a secure network. I do have two computers hooked to a > router. ~David~ |
