    Iam having trouble with someone using my wireless internet connection, It kinda bothers becuase it cuases lag all the time. I only have 3 connections here in my house and i counted a 4th when I checked my router. I dont want to use the WEP key so i was wonering if there was a way to just block them out.

    If your wireless connection through a wireless router then it is possible to set it up with a password protection so that other people may not use it. You may need to call tech support to walk you through it.

    This is a program I just recently down load and try and from what I learn from it so far, it secured it, lock down, and it hide your network from any intruders it is call networkmagic go to www.networkmagic.com to get a free basic version or pay for premium version, you may be satisfied with it.

    One thing you could do is create a custom SSID for your network, and then in the wireless settings, configure it to not broadcast the SSID, so you would have to know the name of the network to connect to it.

    Works good with LinkSys setups.
