--- Quote from: "TimM" ---I went to help setup my inlaws wi-fi a few weekends ago and discovered that my brother in-law had already done it for them  :evil:

The silly whatsit has managed to set it up open, give it the family name, and after trying to follow the instructions which tell you to go to an internet style address to access the router.......


........ he's password protected it so it can't be changed  :roll:

And can he remember the password.... "eeeeeerrrrrr didn't know I'd put one on"

 :evil:

One open network, best I can do for them is get them to turn it off when they are not using it.

By Disabled I mean someone has gone in and Disabled the security.
As for the above, go find the manual for the router, without exception they have a system reset. You'll have to set the whole thing up again but you can get it right.

In which case they deserve all they get, ignorance is one thing but physically choosing to remove security is another ball game entirely!

Walked into work this morning with the PSP looking for WAPS, just for grins. Amazing how many i found, connected to at least 3. Its only 1/2 mile to work!  :roll:

At home, i've turned off the SSID, and use WPA-PSK. I'll be making confirmed MAC address soon too.

a particularly nasty and deviant person i know has an unpatched windows PC set up to act as a wireless access point. it has been infected with god knows how many viruses, worms and trojans, and anyone who access it gets bombarded with attacks.  :D
it isnt connected to the internet anymore, not since it he set it up, yet it keeps catching new viruses  :?
just for laffs, we reinstalled a laptop fresh from a windows CD and associated with his AP, within seconds it started to crash and within minutes it was unusable.
tbh, anyone who associates with it deserves what ever they catch, as they really shouldnt be doing it
