Network passwords can be written down, and need not be remembered. You don’t need to worry about someone seeing it.

It is for that reason that I generate network passwords with my eyes closed. Pounding on the computer keyboard tends to generate nice long somewhat random blends of letters, numbers and symbols.

I also have the same SSID and password in use at my son’s apt at school. He also has one of those super long-range antennas that allows him to access the on-campus network from a couple blocks away. The on-campus network has access to online subscription-only research databases and he can get to them from home. The long-range link runs slower, but it does work.

Lock up your WIFI. Lest your liberal neighbors find out you’re a Freeper.

Could somebody please tell me how I would find out if I am locked up? or encrypted? I am on Comcast with Norton Utilities, does that cover me. Be kind, I am a senior.
