Family FAQ

You asked:

How do I prevent neighbors from getting onto my wireless Internet network and surfing the Web on my dime?

The Online Family answers:

Your wireless Internet access is made possible through a Wi-Fi router, such as an Apple AirPort. Your router allows you to set a password that is required to access your wireless Internet access. On a Mac, go to your AirPort Admin Utility to set the password. On a PC, you can likely set your wireless router password through Microsoft Internet Explorer, as described in your router's instruction manual.

Tech Tip

Printer Power

Always shut down your printer using its power button, versus your power strip's on/off switch. Otherwise, its print heads might not line up and print properly when you turn it back on.
