[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 384218, member: 24098"] I've been saying it for some time now, but [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/technology/6595703.stm"]here's an article[/URL] that sums it up nicely. If you are currently using WEP or no encryption at all, your wireless network is at risk. Don't be fooled into a false sense of security that your WEP encryption will be an effective deterrent. According to this article (and several others that I've read), WEP can be broken in as little as 60 seconds, 5 minutes in a "worst case scenario". If you would like to change to WPA security, you will need to access your router's web configuration page (typically done by opening a browser and putting the address of the router in the address bar) You can find your router's address by checking the default gateway setting for your AirPort in System Preferences > Networking. Configuration will vary by router model, but your documentation should cover the details. Once the change is made to your router and you've chosen a password, each client on your network will need to have its connection updated. [/QUOTE]
