use WPA/WPA2 and a long passphrase; a "passphrase" is often easier to remember then a password, and is almost always longer, too. Something obvious even- like "my DOG has a BLACK spot on her left ear". Or mix it up with symbols, like "I can't $%^& believe this password!"

WRITE it down and put it in a safe place, just in case you forget. remember you only need to put the passphrase in once for each PC, they usually remember them, which brings up another method by which your sons friend is getting the pw... is he using ONE of your PCs? Because it is likely in that case he isn't really doing anything and the PC is simply "remembering" the password that was used last time for the access point. If not, he may be acquiring the password through one of the PCs that connects to your network; AP passwords are are stored plaintext in the registry.Quote from: fjd2358 on November 29, 2009, 07:42:49 PM
