Secure your wifi if you dont like other people using it. I leave mine open (parent's house) because I don't care if other people use it.

1) Extend a USB WiFi dongle out the balcony door to pick up a ~40% signal from a 108mbps "Bad Neighbour" WiFi setup
2) Pipe that through my SFF box into standard RJ45
3) Connect that to the switch
4) DMZ myself so I'm not double-NATted
5) Pick up VoIP phone and make a call to Cogeco to tell them my internet's f*cked

I wonder who the leech is?

:D

Exactly. If you leave it open to other people, you're leaving it open for other people to use.

the usb cable goes from my 2005fpw's USB hub out thru the window and into the usb wifi adapter. The adapter itself is mounted on the steamer :)

Nice! I figured you would have needed to disassemble the adapter.
