    Hi!
    I just got a wireless network router and hooked it up to my laptop ok. However, I'd like to make sure it's secure and that other people can't access it. I was wondering if anyone knows an app I can download from the web which will search for wireless networks in the area and try to get on to them. So I'lll be able to see how easy or difficult it would be for someone to try to access mine. Thanks

    What has the security of other networks got to do with your network? If you had asked how to check your network, it'd be slightly believe. Pull the other one.
