[QUOTE="Neo, post: 523517, member: 36256"] You still haven't told us what kind of router you have. I would be very surprised if WPA wasn't an option. Are you sure? Even my $5 wireless router has WPA...furthermore go with WPA2-PSK (AES). Google that other stuff for details. I agree with aptmunich about the SSID. Something else related to internet security that nobody has mentioned here is enabling your firewall. Yes, most routers have a firewall, but if we are supposing someone can breach your router's defenses... Enable your Firewall in System Preferences...Sharing...Firewall tab. Click Start. [/QUOTE]
