This is idiotic. The FIRST thing I read when I was considering a wireless network in 2002 was to LOCK THE THING DOWN! So, with a bare minimum of homework I knew that I needed to encrypt my wifi before I know ANYTHING else about it! Anything. What planet are these idiots on?
This ain't rocket science. Just spend three minutes - about the time it takes to write a post to this thread - reading the quick-install guide. It'll tell you about WEP or WPA or whatever. It's SO easy. If you can hook up a wireless router you can set the encryption.
No sympathy. If they want a wireless network they need to understand how it works. If their network is wide open they are risking a hellovalot more than slow surfing.
To call the neighbors "scum" is so over the top it makes one wonder what this guy really thinks is important.

I've used MAC address filtering for years and haven't had any problem at all. I think when I get better with m0n0wall I might just put my wireless rig on a separate subnet altogether. -- Rove / Rumsfeld 2008!
