[QUOTE="EvoMac, post: 109868"] WiFi is great and for the most part quite secure (if done correctly). I work for a major pharmaceutical company and we have WiFi via EAP-Fast authentication, which pulls directly from Active Directory to even establish a connection. On the home WiFi path... here are a couple things to stick to: 1) @ home WEP / other encryption is your friend. If you don't encrypt your network anyone can easily just double click on your network and connect, having direct access to any folders that you might share in your household that are not password protected. 2) @public hotspots you will most likely just be doing light browsing / tasks and their is a firewall in place for protection. Would I check my bank statement on public WiFi, no, but not because of wireless... I don't want the nosey person next to me looking at my screen [/QUOTE]
