[QUOTE="JohnTheMacGeek, post: 663426, member: 50897"] My first thought is it's probably either a weak signal and/or the router you're connecting to is competing for bandwidth on channel 6 and, therefore, is really slow, if you can connect to it at all. Ask the owner to change the channel the router is broadcasting on and see if that helps. As far as the debate about securing a wireless connection (with WPA), it is definitely a good idea but not for the reasons I've read here. The problem is if is not secured, anyone who can see the network can get on the network ... and access computers connected to the network. [/QUOTE]
