I have an unprotected wireless internet signal in my house. How do i encrypt it so no one else can use it without my permission. Lately my connection has been really slow, which leads me to beleive that one of my neighbors is using my signal. btw, I did search through the firewall forum, but could not find anything related.

In general, most wifi base stations/routers present the web address 192.168.1.1 as their admin page. So fire up your browser, point it at that address and trundle through the options it presents. Most of them have a Wireless tab and a security tab within the Wireless tab. It is usually pretty painless to get this done. Good luck!
