My suggestion is DO NOT USE A WIRELESS ROUTER UNLESS YOU HAVE NO
CHOICE !!

Hi Jon,
For what its worth, is it practical for you to turn off your
wireless network when not using the internet? That's what I have
been doing ever since I noticed that some one was trying to access
my wireless modem. I also changed my password having a combination
of letters, some capitalized, and numerals. Not sure how efficient
this is against a hard core hacker, but ever since then my downloads
have been well within my limits.
One of the more experienced listers may come up with a better
solution though.
Good luck & good night,

Hi everyone. We have a problem with our AAPT setup and wondering if
anyone has experience with this?
We keep getting messages from AAPT that we are about to, then exceed
our download limit and our account will be 'throttled'.
We have checked our usage and found that our account is using 750Mb,
450Mb etc when we are asleep! even as we are watching
we see that it is being used. It is password protected and are using
Airport Extreme.
This morning at 1, 2, 3, 4am etc when we are in the land of nod, we
are using 1Gb? For instance we were 'unthrottled' on the 7th,
but today we are 'throttled' again as we have exceeded our monthly
etc...
My question firstly is, how do we change the Wireless password, two,
how is it possible that our password could have been 'hacked'?
We have called AAPT but they insist that of course we are
downloading stuff, and no joy there.
Should we change the password every week, month?
Any help would be much appreciated.
KInd regards
Jon
