A-1 DFW PC On-Site Computer Services has installed hundreds of wireless networking systems in the home and small businesses.  While not overly complicated when following the directions supplied by the vendor, 95% of the installations do not turn on the WEP security feature.  What does this mean to you and your internet setup at home?  Your wireless router actually works around 300 feet from the base unit.  300 feet would in many cases would include the street in front your business or home.  I have personally tested driving up and down streets with my laptop with my wireless card and have attached to many systems.  Your connection is totally exposed to anyone within the 300 foot range.  While someone could borrow your internet services temporarily, the real threat is in your data in also available to the same people.  We as a default turn on the WEP on each and every router, thus protecting your internet connection and data from accidental capture from neighbors or roaming hackers.   You can easily read your manual to view the properties of your wireless setup and view whether the WEP feature is turned on.  If not, call us today and have this built in protection enable, and have the peace of mind that someone is not ease dropping on your business or home.
