do u encrypt ur network?? i have seen a LOT of unencrypted networks and want to know y?? it only takes around 5 mins to encrypt..
 
Yeah, many people believe in the freedom of communication and think that encryption is ""evil"" :evil: so they keep it Off.😉

Or, could be that they do not know better, or have nothing to hide, or do not care.:shocked:

:sun:
 
Technically it's a friend's AP and not mine, but a few months ago we did turn on WEP because someone was crushing his Internet connection.

freedom of communication? i dont get it.. by allowing other ppl to use their internet?

even if u have nothing to hide, if a hacker were to do some hacking with ur connection, u get in trouble...

and, it only takes a few keystrokes to spell "you" and "your", plus you come across better when you do that.

quite right but i do not put myself in any danger by minimizing my keyboard's radiation (something ironic in this statement?)...

Maybe you should fix the beginning of your sentances then. :roll: Eat my lack of capitalization.

i encrypt but i wish i didnt have to, i would rather live in a world where internet connections are free to use wherever i go.

 
I work in an isolation cage for 8+ hours a day. 3 100mw AP's (often turned down to 5 or 20 mw) and 2-5 20-40 mw client radios. If you leave the door shut for more then about 4 hours, you start to get a killer headache.

I have noticed a change in your posts, but didn't want to mention it............😛
 
I used to be lazy an only use WEP-128 (didn't look into WPA when it came out; didn't want to bother learning about it or updating drivers, etc.). Since then I've found out how easy it is to crack WEP, and made a point of changing the numerous wireless routers that I've recommended and configured to enable WAP or even just turn the radio off if it's not being used.

And while I was at one of these locations, I saw that somebody had hacked into and logged on despite WEP-128. This was an older D-Link router, which didn't even have the ability to turn off the wireless radio originally. Of course, I immediately changed the SSID and encryption key, and thereafter downloaded and installed firmware that allowed me to disable the wireless radio altogether.

Based on that experience, WEP-128 is dead for me; if that site needs wireless again, that router will have to be replaced with at least a WPA-capable one.

It worked with my older brother's laptop and the Linksys router claimed that WPA2 (or whatever I had it configured as first) was backwards compatible with WPA, but it wasn't so I'll just stick with the WPA until my Dad's company issues him a new work computer.
 
Yeah. I know it's a WPA, but I forget which one specifically. I don't care much. I might change it to WEP so I can get my Zaurus online easier.

WEP at moment (with MAC filtering as well) but will be upgrading to WPA2 soon

I use wep as well with MAC filtering only because my T43 refuses to work with WPA or WPA2.
