[QUOTE="karudzo, post: 322111, member: 17652"] WEP security is almost worthless. Someone is likely using your network at that time or has a strong signal on the same channel, as mentioned above. Look at your wireless router's documentation or website for how to login to it or type ifconfig in Terminal to see your gateway address- it is likely your wireless router's address. Then open a browser and type that IP address into the address bar and login. Each router is different, but all have a setting for the wireless channel. In the US, you should stick to 1, 6 or 11 for minimal interference. You can run a free program called iStumbler which will show you the wireless networks in the area. Then you can change your channel to avoid using the same as theirs. [/QUOTE]
