how do you stop next door using your internet connection for their laptop?

Password it.





And don't tell them the password.

Set up WPA and a password. usually you access this by entering into your browser: 192.168.1.1 or 1.2 or 1.3 depending on the router make. Then you go into security and set up/change your access password.

Alternatively Mr I he may want to allow them to use it and then he can tell the old bill that it must have been them who typed www.diddlingkids.com into the search engine on his account when they come knocking...

or he can leave it as it is and allow any passing fraudster to access every bank account he owns.

Cheers

What is a WPA?

go round their house and smash their computer to bits, and if they try and stop you, smash their faces to bits

Whilst I appreciate your advice, on this occasion I will ignore it on the basis of my peace loving nature and they are 2 x 16 stone rug munching munters and would probs knack me!

There are essentially 3 type of security: WEP/WPA/WPA2

WEP can be hacked by a five year old with a laptop running Linux. WPA is way harder and WPA2 is nigh on impossible in practice.

When you go into the security settings you will have these options.

use the element of surprise and whip out your fat lad
