re: Wireless Security Thursday, December 11, 2003 at 3:29 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by bread maker (13 messages posted) You didn't mention what model router you are using, but none the less you could enter this http://myrouter.com should take you to Dell's site. many new posts on wireless modems. They are not as secure as you think, (rated as a novelty) also the lite blinking on the router means the antenna is chattering with router this means the computer is sending to router. Even having wep enabled will only keep a somewhat expierenced person from picking your network off in a few seconds. A more secure system is supposed to be available at this time next year. good luck On Thursday, December 11, 2003 at 6:43 am, T.
