serious?... any 15 year old with a clue could be piggybacking his way to
Runescape or Pornworld via your "WEP-protected wifi" in very short order
indeed... yeah, the wifi that _you_ pay for, not him.



Poor paranoid baby! I've only had two cases of abuse on my wifi hotspot.
Taking the wifi hotspot down for a week, then putting it back up, seemed
to stop it. If it were a problem, I would simply cease its access. It's
not....

Does that make you feel better....less totally negative??


I suppose you could characterise my criticism of your poor advice as
negative. I think others might find it helpful. Either way, help us out
by making up your mind. First you say freeloading on your wifi is fine
and everyone is welcome to it, then you say it's been abused and you've
had to shut your router off for a week at a time -and that apparently is
no problem for you-?!? Well, what is it?
