If you have a wireless network, for fuck's sake, please, take a few minutes to do what I'm about to say. You'll be infinitely more protected because of it.
- Change the default password on your router.
- Change the default SSID on your router.
- Use WPA2 + AES or WPA2 + TKIP. If don't have WPA2, then make sure you either have a hellishly long key, or buy a new router.
- Stop SSID broadcasting.
- Use a good wireless key. This means:
* A minimum of 8 characters.
* A mix of numbers, letters, and symbols.
* No dictionary words.
* No birthdays.
* No names.
* It's actually best if you get a randomly generated password from a place like here: https://secure.pctools.com/guides/password/
- Change default login from HTTP to HTTPS.
- Use a Mac Address filter. Only let your own devices on your network.
- Shut it down if you're not going to use it for a long time. (Longer then two weeks).
If you need help setting it up, send me a PM or get ahold of me on MSN, and I'll point you in the right direction. Just, for the love of god, keep away from default! Using default makes baby Jesus cry. |
If you are in Southern California my company will hire you.

Sorry man. Sometimes love dies on the vine and nothing can be done to save it.
It hurts, I know, it has happened to me. Just know we are here for you.
