Hi .. hope I'm posting my question on the right board.
Lately the network card of my laptop stopped working and I couldn't connect to the internet. So the computer tech got a router, connected it to the modem and the online connection seems to be okay now. But I hear that wireless connections are vulnerable to unauthorized users. The directions on the router says to "activate WEP, WPA or WPA2 security feature" for protection. Is this third party software necessary? Kindly provide some details for my information. Thanks.
