how do I secure my wireless connection and place a password so that my neighbors cannot get access and slow my connection? thanks

get a hammer, walk to neighbors house, proceed to beat their computer into an unrecognizable condition...


they wont steal your internet, anyyymore

oh the tough way eh? but wait, by nieghbors are big guys, and they outnumber lil ol me.. Hmm, this plan is going to require outstanding inginuity.. aha! gun sgonna pwn em all baby Trouble with the authorities? "But I was definding myself against those thiefs"

I'm not sure but I think you have to put in a WEP key.

what is a wep key? where can i find it?

Basically, it's a password you set. Anyone who tries to connect to your network will have to put in this password. The more letters and numbers and symbols you use in the password, the more secure it is.

as a password...i suggest password
no one would ever guess you to be stupid enough to use it....
*and no, that is not my password for the forums so dont even bother trying

(I am writing this of my norwegian set up, sorry for any bad translations, cannot be bothered to log out and log in on english ).

Right click on your wireless internet connection and select properties. Then select "wireless network" (the tab in the middle). If you have one or more wireless networks available you can select them from the list now available... Select your wireless network of desire, and select "properties".

You may now see two drop down boxes. Select WPA-PSK in the first one and AES data encryption in the second. Then type the network key/password in the two empty boxes below... Hit okay and off you go.

lol,m sorry for being a noob but.. how do I reach all this? Seting up the password. And sunb! I dont know how to reach what you said I went to control panel, then Network connections, then choose the connection that reads "Local Area Network", went to properties, but then I couldnt find what you said :/

And the connection isnt fast, better than before but not the best

I got a wireless router that is square in shape, has a stick-like figure sticking out from the top. There are a few wires out of that thing, one wire is pluged into this PC. So I am being connected to the interned because of this wire.

lol, i see you know the technological lingo mighty
