Hi there,
Here is some do’s to protect your wireless:

1. Access the Administration Panel of your Router – This can be done by opening your internet browser and typing in the address bar 192.168.1.1. Once you hit enter, an authentication panel would pop-up requiring you to enter a username and password. Usually, its 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 so most likely you wouldn’t have to do that.
2. Set the SSID or Username – When you’re inside the Administration panel, just go to Basic Wireless Settings and find the setting for Wireless Network Name or SSID. You should key in your desired username on the field of Wireless Network Name or SSID. Don’t forget to Save the Changes you made.
3. Set the Password – You should now go to Wireless Security. There you would see the Security Mode. To make things simple, just choose WPA Personal.
You should now set a password by entering one under WPA Shared Key. After that, save the changes you made again.Alia http://www.twindi.com

You’re right. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to security issues like this. You’d be suprised how easy it is to hook up on somebody else’s ASDL connection.

No, absolutely

But just network devices has a MAC address, is a phisical identification code

Hope to be helpful!

Does my mac adresse change if I upgrade my computer with some other hardware? For example change the graphic card?
