Question for the security goo-roos:

My network is secured by WPA2-PSK, and the 4 or 5 other networks that my laptop sees now are also secured with WEP or some version of WPA. But there’s one that is not secure. It is my network, but it is labeled “my network name-guest” and is marked as unsecured. I can’t find anything on my linksys that pertains to a guest account setting.

Anybody know anything about this? I want it disabled, obviously.

Update - I disabled it (the “guest” account). Problem was with the software that came with the router. It allows you to turn on or off the guest account, but you can’t do it with the regular internet-type interface. To make matters worse, once you adjust certain things in the internet-based interface, the other software becomes inoperable. Had to jump through a few hoops (and got a little help on the Cisco forums) to get things straightened out.

I’m going to have to dig deeper into this security thing - I want the best security I can set up within reason.
