[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1801917, member: 56379"] Yes...but how "strong" of a password is it? If it's an easy password to break such as these commonly used (and terrible to use passwords): - 123456 - password - admin - login - abc123 - hello Then a wifi network can be vulnerable. I'm not saying this is the issue. But if you can't explain things in any other way...and you live close enough to your neighbors that they could leech your wifi...then it's possible. Don't assume that because your wifi is password protected...that-that password is a "strong" one. Just something to consider just in case.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
