Solved: Wireless router Security issue
Hello all and Happy New Year.. I have a wireless router Netgear.. My neighbors internet was shut off due to non payment.. She installed a wireless card and is feeding off my internet for free.. Is this legal? How can i block her from my wireless router? Don't know where to look on my PC..

Thanks in advance..

no its not legal - most ISP have a claus about this in the details

just set up secruity on the wireless router, WEP or WPA should be available
should be in the manual
post back the model of router.
