You can do this with just about anything including a wifi enabled cellphone or PDA if you are so inclined and WAP isn't much better. He also using a 4 year old laptop that probably doesn't support WAP.

There is no way to really secure a wireless access point, the only saving grace is that nobody really cares enough about reading the emails you send to grandma to bother with it.

I use my computer for online banking and a whole bunch of other stuff I would want protected.

In the process of trying to set everything up right now.

Well, success at last (for now)

Setup the firewall. Using WPA with 128(?) bit encription.

Just my connection isn't all that great... but I think that's because I switced it from turbo, to normal... the only reason I did that was so I could change the channel it's set on from 6 to 11 (phone runs on same channel, have 3 - 2.4ghz phones in the house one on each level)

Anywhoo, thanks everyone... you've been so much help so far, given me a much better understanding on how things work. Really appreciate that.

I'm sure there will be more posts to come. Again, thanks!
