Hello,
So here's the deal
I just moved to a new apartment, I'm gonna go wireless..
here's what i plan to do, then my questions will follow
i bought a linksys cable gateway. It's a cable modem, a wireless router, and a wired router.
I plan to use these 3 functions
of course my cable line is going to it for the internet, i plan to have my main computer physically wired by the the ethernet connection, and then i plan to have it emit a wireless signal for two laptops, and possibly my nintendo DS (when the DS goes online)
i have security questions
1) how can i monitor my network?
2) do i need any tools to make this network more secure?
I'm worried because since i'm in a apartment there are plany of poeple around that can compromise my network performance.. and i guess maybe cause damage to me as well right?
thanks
