I have one of these and a couple of weeks ago, we had a visitor with her
lap top who commented that she could detect a very strong wifi signal.
Could she hack into this?

I am more concerned about those that live around me though. I want to
shut them out. How do I go about it?

*** sake...

Its using WPA and comes set with a password. Unless you either unplug it
or line the walls of your house with tin foil, they're going to detect
it. However what they're not going to be able to do is make a connection
to it that they can use unless you change the password it came with to
one thought up by a simpleton which could be easily guessed.

Conor, don't wrap it up, just give me the details :-)

Getting on in years now.

He doesn't know the answer, he just repeats bits of what he has read or
heard
elsewhere without understanding what it means. Just put him in the killfile
as he
does the same in many other newsgroups. He is an expert until asked a
question
that Google doesn't provide an answer for !!!
