    We have 2 computers in our house connected by a wireless router. Recently one of our shady neighbors bragged that he was able to access other neighbors computers and see all their info. Is this possible? If so does it have anything to do with the wireless router? This guy is a jerk and we want to make sure we're protected. Any help would be appreciated!

    If you do not have the Wireless network secured then it is possible for someone else to gain access to the internet/network.

    I would highly recommend adding a network key such as WPA or WEP to secure your Wireless network. I would also recommend adding a password to your router, use the default Admin account but add a password to secure it.
