Internet jackers !
Hi , im just wondering if anyone can tell me how to stop someone from using my internet connection remotely. I mean I use a wireless network but ive heard people in range can also tap into the signal and use my connection for free , which in turn slows my connection/download speed down.
Please can someone let me know how to lock my connection off from internet pikeys.
Thanks.
