Question about wifi

Comment:

I have a question about wifi. If I get a wireless router, how can I be sure a neighbor wont be able to pick up my signal and use my internet? Ive heard of friends who can pick up their neighbors wifi and get free internet from them. Will a firewall work?

any wireless router has at least some basic WEP protection, so don't worry, it's easy to lock out the neighbours :-) Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'
