I want to switch my network from cable to wireless. But
with all the talk of unauthorised people able to access
wireless networks to log on, I'm concerned as to how
secure wireless networking really is. Can wireless
networking be set in a way to prevent unauthorised access
to any of aspect of the network, including internet and
most of all file sharing? How do I go about it? Any ideas
of good, simple websites? Thanks
