I secure my network, not because I care about a neighbor borrowing my bandwidth, but because that neighbor may not be as security conscious as I am. So then suddenly my network has somebody's virus laden laptop trying to attack my computers that, to a large extent, are dependent on my router/firewall for security.<BR/><BR/>I've actually considered trying to segment my network. So what I'd do is set aside a wifi network that would be open to the world, but would be bandwidth restricted and severely firewalled. But I've never really found it worth the trouble to set it up.sternohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245940881311545520noreply@blogger.com
