Wireless networking

It is easier to access the internet via your wireless router than it is to access your computer. Even if some one accesses the router they will not be able to access your computer unless they use the same network group name. The best defense against anyone using the router is to use MAC filtering. MAC, which stands for Media Access Control, is an identification code for the hardware that you are using to link to the router, so with MAC filtering you can bar access to everyone apart from the computers that you select.

It will be safer if you set all the security saving right. You need to do a few things: 1) After you had verified the wireless networking is fine, then turn off the broadcasting option. This is to minimize the opportunity where other people could possibly know that your network name. Less risky, coz they are not even aware they are in WIFI zone :) 2) setup WEP KEY. It's a 128 bit encryption code in HEX format (0-9,A-F). There are 4 WEP Key to setup, randomly put in from 0 to 9 or A to F. You need to setup in the router and also the wireless client site. With the encryption setup, it's harder for people to invade the network. But encryption will slow down the network speed a little though. 3) Setup strong administrator password for your wireless router. Not to use something related to you like car plate number, identity card number & etc. 4) MAC address filtering. Keep track of the wireless interface MAC address. Setup the MAC address filtering in the router which accept traffic from your wireless card interface. Then intruder with differect MAC adderess unable to log in. After you had done these few things, it will be much safer. U might need some time to learn, but it's not going to be difficult. Hope this help, good luck!

Yes I have wireless at home and it is very secure. You can lock it out with a password or allow anyone to come on. When my brothers visits next door I allow him to use my wireless and it is very good. My computer has a firewall so he can never enter into my computer. If you had a hacker come on the wireless yes they could steal your info, but if they are good they can do that anyway. Make sure your pc is protected and also password protect the connection.

I'm trying to analyze the set-up of your network... What I understand is your broadband internet connection is connected in a wireless router and your PC is connected to the wireless router via the RJ45 connector and your wife computer is connected via Wireless device. I assume this is the set-up... or base on your explanation your PC is the host for your wife PC, meaning it's your PC who route the network from your wife PC to the internet or vice versa... it depends on what wireless equipment you are using (wifi, bluetooth, etc., each manufacturer has their own advantage and dis-advantages in wireless technology, although they are using the standard protocol in wireless technology, and from time to time they are combating in making their products more secure to hackers and less-vulnerable, so the summary "Still not Secure". In your network setup no matter how you secure your wireless network by enabling all the security features of your Wireless Equipment and Computer System. Always remember that hackers also upgrading their technology and knowledge how they can gain access to a victim computer system and network in todays technology and security system. My suggestion are; always use encryption, always enable your firewall, keep your system, anti-virus and anti-spyware updated, and most important of all is educate your self and any member of the family that uses your computer in the network to be a responsible internet user. Malwares can knockdown all your securities once they are active in your system and computer network. And Last, always clean all the traces specially in your wife computer every time she's done any internet transactions.

inter connection between two or more computer is called network , when we use mobile networking ,or through setlite networkin is called wireless networking..

Yes,I do have WIRLESS netowrking..and I generally connect my two laptops with my main computer through it. And its absolutely safe,but do keep in mind of using it password protected all the time!

I do not know a whole lot about it. I do know that you can set it up to require a security key to access it. I know this because a lot of the free places I used to hook to when doing independent contracting, including the public library now require a security key. Hope this helps a little. I usually just use my private computer geek (my son) to help me with that kind of stuff.

With such technology as we are benefited but it is also true that there is an alement of risk of stealing of data over the wireles Networking. I am not a techie about the wireless Networking but as per I know there should be a strong firewall installed in your computer ..also some hardware come with inbuilt firewalls..keep a continous check on your bank accounts and every transcation you have done over the network. But by remaining secure and aware you can stop the stealing of your privacy..

there is no problem in security but it is too slow so we should use rj45 connector

I havent used wireless connectin much in the past.I find I like to go in to the place and pay for it myself.I might be old fashioned that way.But I do like the exchange of money done in front of me.

using wpa encryption it can be pretty secure. you can additionally choose to not broadcast your networks name and then you will need to know the network name to connect to it.

I have wireless and love it. I have a secured network both at work and at home. I have not had any problems. It's not much different then wired as long as you take the time to set up the security. Why system are you using that it is giving you such a hard time.

iN MY VIEW Wireless networking OR WiFi has a lot of advantages. Wireless networks are easy to set up and inexpensive. They're also unobtrusive - unless you're on the lookout for a place to use your laptop, you may not even notice when you're in a hotspot. In this article, we'll look at the technology that allows information to travel over the air. We'll also review what it takes to create a wireless network in your home.

As others have too rightly said if it is set up correctly with a password be it wpa or wep encryption it is more secure than having nothing at all so you can feel safe hehe

all concern informatique is not secure

i think it must be more secure

look at the pros and cons...and then decide...which one u are comfortable with...

Very dangerous when you accessed the internet from the internet rent, possibly your data was known by the crowd, better when you used rental of the internet should not forget to sign out your account, and should not use password that found it easy in knew the person, really good when you accessed the internet in the house or the personal computer.

its not problem!
