[QUOTE="Del, post: 297986, member: 24208"] Linksys router have good security controls once logged in to the router. As already mentioned you should setup WEP or WPA security, (WEP is crackable within hours WPA is not). Next thing you might want to do is restrict access to your router by MAC address - basically every computer has a MAC address, so you can identify the MAC address of your computer, key that in to the router's security section on "restrict access to". But do setup WEP or WPA security because it IS possible to spoof a MAC address. [/QUOTE]
