If you buy somthing learn how to use it. You bought a car... and you lock it.. why ? becuase you don't want someone to steal it or use it. You buy a house.. you lock it. for the same reasons.. and the list goes on. So.. when you buy a wi-fi enabled router.. secure it... My wife takes the opinion of stealing is stealing. The intesting thing is. If I have ISP X and my neighbour has ISP X.. same service plans.. unlimited bandwidth. Am I really stealing ? I'm paying to use ISP X ? and I'm using it.. no matter which isp you get your not paying for bandwidth your paying for access... It's a never ending discussion.. That being said. the wi-fi manufactures could make it easier to enable some of the features of security. In any case this topic will go on and on, who's right ? who knows....

Some of them ARE now starting to do just that... For Example, Linksys' new "SecureEasySetup" Pushbutton function on their latest models... While it doesn't provide a True "Soup-to-Nuts" Lockdown of the system, it DOES provide a BASIC level of security, to help keep Joe Average Wi-Fi Leechers out... -Tursiops_G. -- If You're Unsure, "RTFM"... If You're SURE, "RTFM" Anyway.
