>>It is very easy to secure your wi-fi/router<<
On my MS router I was never able to get the encryption to work. I ended up just using MAC Address. It has a problem though. My daughter came in with her new laptop with Windows Vista. We never were able to find a mac address that I could use to give her access. In the software I found where it was SUPPOSED to be (after hitting google), but it said “unavailable”. I had to turn off security while she used it.
Yet another reason to hate Vista.
I’ve restarted my studio computer and, after several days, discovered it was not connected to my router, but one of my neighbors. Usually I found out because I couldn’t find my printer, which is attached to one of the other computers on my network.
Am I going to jail?
Better get some soap on a rope!
