wireless and hardwire connection question

[macojoe]

Linksys makes it real easy!!

All you need is the router if the laptop comes wireless already!

When you set up the ssid (securty) go 128 bites for the encription!

Just buy a linksys or netgear wireless router. Make sure the router has ports you can plug your desktop into and fire up the wireless stuff and you are all set.

The encryption stuff is BS and you dont need it unless you have your SSID broadcast enabled. Just make sure you shut off the SSID broadcast and change the SSID to somthing other than the default.

The problem with hackers is that they can detect you with windows networking because the broadcast is enabled, if they cant detect you they cant hack you.
