I've heard that... and the road is close enough that they'll probably get a signal (150ft. or so), but that's as far as they'll get unless they can break 128bit encryption.

Sir G... I think all new wireless solutions will include good encryption so all you have to do is set it up (which is also very easy). [/QB][/QUOTE]As long as you set up a WAP key, you should be fine. If you don't take the time to make a secure wireless network, well...it's your own fault.
