Piggyback Wi-Fi......!

I read last Thursday that savvy consumers who piggy back wireless Internet networks have plenty of company. More than half of computer users, 54%, admit to using someones else's Wi-Fi access without permission, according to an online survey of 560people by computer-security firm Sophos. Results of the survey, taken Oct. 31 to Nov. 6th.
Many consumers fail to properly secure a home wireless connection with passwords and encryption, the survey reports. Allowing freeloading passers-by and neighbors to steal Internet access and slow down a network's performance. I would recommend designing networks with security in mind, as a safeguard from digital moochers and hackers. Also bear in mind that the average Wi-Fi signal in the home is only good for about 300 feet. So know who is around your home and be wise to your wireless security.
