WELL, I FIND OUT MY NEIGHBOR TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE A WI-FI CARD OR WHATEVER FOR HIS LAPTOP AND HE USES SOMEONES ELSES SIGNAL. HES AN I.T. ANALYST SO HE KNOWS WHAT HES DOING AND HE KINDA LAUGHED IT OFF AND I KNEW RIGHT THEN THAT IT WAS MY SIGNAL HE WAS GETTING.

    i'm by no means an IT expert however i do know it is very important to enable the security aspect of you WiFi. this will prevent your neighbor from getting onto your signal.

        You need to secure your wireless router with an encryption system such as WEP or WPA. I'd also recommend using MAC address filtering too, I do both of those and so far, no one has been able to get into my wireless network.

          I am not positive on this, but I don't think he can steal your DSL connection signal, only if you Have a router for a wireless connection. when I connect via wireless connection, the only signals that come up are the other wireless signals in the area. Maybe it is different there in the country. lol!

              You could probably also go into the modem settings and turn off the wireless access point function if you don't have any wireless devices.

                Agreed, there is no reason to buy new hardware. As cyber said, turn off the wireless function on your modem and youll be fine.

                  By any chance, is your modem a Motorola SBG900?
