[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 523481, member: 3850"] You're right of course that WEP is better than nothing - but not much ;) As soon as someone is connected to your Router, they can normally see or find all other machines connected to that router as well. Once they have that access they can try to break into the machine almost as if they were sitting in front of it at the login screen. It's not easy, but probably not impossible either. [/QUOTE]
