OT ... mindmeld, RTFM is "read the fine manual". However, some people think the "F" stands for an expletive. :-)

Turn encryption on, if you haven't yet already. Various encryption types: WEP (Weak. Dictionary attacks possible. Still better than nothing) WPA (Has dynamic keys) WPA2 (Just announced. Based on 802.11i. Products will ship soon. Backward compatible with WPA)

Mindmeld, RE: "What else do I need to do" As typical of the hightech industry, the products are made for geeks, not consumers. You'll have to stand on your head, or do some other such thing, to get it working perfectly secure. It would never occur to our industry to create something simple that's consumer friendly. Meanwhile, China probably will. I can still remember back when you had to debate with an engineer about why typing Win was really a bad idea, rather than simply launching it directly without bothering the consumer. "But all they have to do is type Win... how hard can that be." Yeesh. Regards, Amy J
