Wireless Networks

Wireless network are great but need to be protected. If you are using a wireless network in your home you should be using a network security key. When you neglect to set up a network security key your computer is vulnerable. Other users can us your connection; even view your computer contents via the wavelengths sent out by your system. Today most computers come with a nice built in feature to help you set up your pass phrase. If you do not feel confident in doing so, I suggest you call your service provider and have them help you secure your network ASAP.

I had not thought this was something that I was going to have to talk about. However I have just come back from seeing my son, with the knowledge that this is a big problem. It seems that unsecured networks are a dime a dozen were he lives; leaving only a small part of the population actually having legitimate internet connections. Everyone else is borrowing the neighbors, care free saving money. This is economical but not wise to say the least. If you need more information about your wireless network you can go to your help and support option on you computer.
