There has been so much discussion surrounding this topic lately, I thought I would post this link I found; and give a plug to the Lifehacker website which I kinda like:

Thanks, I needed that two months ago! Now I can give it another try.

TJR,

That's some great info.

The real problem is that the Router manufacturers often have setup wizards that simple setup the wireless network using all default settings and no security!!



I will probably print that info out and take it to my neighbor who is running an unsecure wireless network with all the obvious default settings. :wacko:

No problem folks. Enjoy AND USE the info. I even went back and double checked my setup...still using WEP because that's all one of my card's supports, and made sure I am not broadcasting my SSID (I wasn't).

Good article, TJR.



A few clicks away from this site (if you follow the links) are a couple of good articles on wireless security.
