Brice, Yeah, it is possible. If you open your browser on your desktop and go to 192.168.1.1 you can log into your router. Then you can turn on the wireless radio and set up some other things. Make damn sure you change the password on the admin user. Also, change the S I D to some other name

I would suggest turning on wep or one of the other encrypted protocols. If you don't, someone can easily snoop your trafic. This will allow them to inpersonate one of your computers and get on your network even if you have only a specific set of MAC addresses allowed. WEP is not totally secure

I'd like to make the recommendation that wpa2 be used since wep is not as secure and in fact can slow a connection a bit. Just my experience and most folks in the IT security business will recommend wpa2 as well. Just my two cents worth. On Jun 15, 2009, at 10:46 AM, Terry Klarich wrote: >

you can take the tool they give and connect the laptop with ease, or you can go into the router and turn on encryption and right down the key it gives you. Then all you have to do is plug in the info when you click connect to the SSID that your router broadcasts. you will have to use a cable wit
