Netgear were sent out like that and people invariably do not activate security and set a password. I have driven around the streets of Thornton Cleveleys looking for connections, when looking after my mum a couple of months back and every open connection I found was a netgear router | ||

Sky + HD (for the wife, mostly!) | My advice to anyone using a wireless router would be to use WPSK encryption as it is much more secure than WAP encryption. Definitely do not leave it as an open network, especially if you do any on-line banking! | ||

These settings are built in to a lot of ADSL/DSL routers. They are there to simplify port forwarding for numptys, eg if you wanted to forward a port to your webserver or a video game server (e.g. Age of Empires), its all pre-set for you. Flavours of WPA encryption are better than WEP, but both can now be hacked. The truth is that most of the kind of people who would be inclined to try to piggy back on your wifi connection are too dumb/lazy to figure out how to do it. (Unless its been left wide open). I've heard lots of people claiming that they hacked this wifi network or that, but it all turns out to be bull. If they bothered to actually research it, they'd find it was possible. But that would require a little work  I even overheard one person say that he was wirelessly picking up a broadband connection from the underground cable that passed by his front door.. Any reputable bank will be using SSL (HTTPS) meaning that when you send your authentication credentials to a site, they are encrypted. So I wouldn't worry too much about it. (Unless someone installed a keylogger on your system ) | |||
