neiborhood leeching my internet

hi everyone

i have a wireless router 1 computer and 1 laptop

something tells me that my neibors is leeching my internet

i was wondering is there any programs that can kick them out

 

Have you set your encryption on the router? That would do it.

 

i am not really a computer genius lol

what do u mean?

 

D-link DL-524 wireless router

i just want my internet to connect just to my laptop and computer

Then you need to follow the steps to set up the WEP or WPA key in Wireless Security on the Router, and put same key in your WiFi properties for the particular Laptop. If the desktop computer is connected via Cat-5e, you do not have to worry about the key, due to it is not connected via a wire. If WiFi, same as Laptop, then you need the same key that you put on the Laptop, in order to secure.

Also, since you have an open network, where do you live? What this means, is that advertising your network as an open network, you are responsible for anything that anyone does on your network (ie SPAMming others with SPAM, downloading Porn, hacking others), and you could actually end up loosing your connection from your ISP.

I would suggest going to http://www.dlink.com, and learn how to set the security up on your Router, along with changing the administrator name and password from 'Admin'.
