Wireless Internet
Help Needed. Hello, we've been trying to connect to wireless internet, thought we'd done it but when we un-plugged our modem and router we still had access to the internet.
We also want to make our internet secure. We have a compaq laptop with windows vista.

All help is greatly appreciated

Thanks Twinkle

Are you sure this is what you meant?
If so, it sounds like you've connected to someone else's wireless network.

Your router manual should have instructions for setting up & securing wireless.
