[QUOTE="Larry H, post: 1036559, member: 132591"] Greetings, I am using my Mac Mini as a wireless router for a LAN. The Mac is connected to the internet via a Sprint broadband card. I have two PCs that connect to the Mac and thru the Mac to the internet. This local wireless network is not presently secured. How do I secure this LAN to exclude outsiders? My nearest neighbor is 100 to 200 yards away, could someone else receive my wireless network at that range? Should the LAN be encrypted? If so, which encryption setting should I use? I don't do any sensitive online work with the PCs and I shut off the Airport when I do banking or credit card stuff on the Mac. Thanks for any advice, Larry H [/QUOTE]
