I'n finally going wireless with my internet conncection. Never had the need before as I didn't have any laptops and the computer was right by the phone line but that's all changed.

It all looks fairly straight forward however does anybody have any tips to secure the wireless network to make sure the neighbours don't use ours?

If you're using a wireless router in the Security Settings menu you can specifiy the unique MAC codes of machines that are allowed to log in.

tells you how to find the MAC address ( sorry I called it a MAC code earlier! ) of your laptop or PC's wireless network card.

Ok thanks mate for the help. If anybody else has any tips then I'd welcome them before I set it all up over the weekend.
