Tweeti'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.

TweetI DONT HAVE WI-FI...HE DOES AND HES STEALING MY INTERNET SIGNAL TO RUN HIS LAPTOP

HOW DO I STOP THAT?

[cyberlegend1994]

TweetYou 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!

TweetYou 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.

TweetBy any chance, is your modem a Motorola SBG900?
