Re: Wireless net connection

We've just been watching a programme about wireless conection. If you don't have protection on anyone with a lap top can stand outside your house and tap into your files. It was quite scarey what with all the fraud that's going on in the world :twisted: . Luckily we can't afford a lap top so we haven't got wirless connection, just make sure you're protection is on.

Jesus I sound like my mother (make sure you're protected) he he!

Re: Wireless net connection

in many routers nowadays, you can also setup a unique wireless encryption key which are like passwords...you then plug those keys into said computers on your network through the network setups. Should be enough protection right there; I mean who's really gonna stand there and try to scan through to find your key? (as they are 40 or 64-bit hexadecimal)...

For me personally, I live on a single dead-end street well outside of any real busy traffic, so my protection is fairly low...obviously if you're in a much higher traffic area or city, it's good to be aware just in case.

The only way your speeds may be altered/slowed at times on a wireless network is if other units utilize the same frequency (cordless phones used to be notorious for this), or if your house is huge and you're well on the opposite end of where your router is, etc. These problems though aren't on a regular basis and mileage will vary from setup to setup.

Re: Wireless net connection

its so handy when your travelling around though with a laptop. Any city you hit these days your guaranteed you will have numerous WAPS to choose from to get connected so I say to you that are going to secure them. DON'T for bums like me
