How to hide my wireless connection personal House of the user of the computer on the outside

I see from time to time by my window a vehicle that is parked outside using their computer. Someone told me that they can connect to the internet using my wireless signal. How can I hide the outside user I have a wireless connection?

Hello Maria,.

There are a few things you can do to make sure that you are safe.

#1. Make sure that your wireless modem is protected using a personal code to access WEP or WPA2. This is done by going to the configuration of your modem and the establishment under the wireless tab / link / article. Of the modem user manual must be able to guide them in this process.

#2. The other way is to disable the broadcasting network option in the modem. The only problem with this option, it is only people who are currently using the network can get on again.

I recommend establishing a password on your wireless network and in this way people can see your broadcast network, but they will not be able to get on it, unless they have the password.

Hope this helps,

JB

    I just bought an S10 3 0647 and while it seems to work fine, I found is very slow N wireless connectivity - it shows the connection speed to be as slow as 19Mbps at times, but more often around 26Mbps. I don't know why when I have other laptops with Wireless N connectivity at up to 144Mbps no matter where I am located in my house from the wireless router (Netgear DGND3700 which has the latest firmware update).

    I need to update a driver, or modify any other parameter?

    Trying to connect to a printer Dell wirless to the router and has failed, after many tests to get the computer to recognize the printer as a wireless device.  Recommended by Dell to refresh the router and I pressed the button in the above subject line.

    Now, none of my computers display the connection wireless as available. I have reset the time many cable modem and the router and him that restarted the computer and they still will not recognize the wireless connection.

    Also, I tried to use the default IP 192.168.1.1 to review my settings for the router (running a laptop directly via the cable modem), but the address keeps timing.

    What is someone out there knows what can happen to connect wireless to disappear?  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Don

    Your wireless network is gone because you press the WPS button on the front.  Never do this because you don't have the hardware to support it.  Change the SSID and password.

    Press and hold the reset on the back for 30 seconds and then release.  Wait 10 seconds and cycle power to the router.  To connect to a computer wired to the router at 192.168.1.1 only empty password, username "admin".   Now configure the router manually.

  • Which schema/user is a connected person slot within the Apex?

    Greetings,

    I have an application with built in authentication of the function table. When a person logs in their username and password is simply compared to the values of a user table to determine if they can use the application. The authentication table is in the same schema as the application.

    The Apex application is in a schema called DLR_INV. All the tables used by the application, but one is in that same pattern. The table in another schema is used to retrieve the status codes for a LOV.

    The user receives an error when the page opens, the error is on the State LOV. My DBA and another Oracle developer to determine what the problem is. Is there a synonym above the state table which should provide access. The DBA can connect through SQL Developer as DLR_INV and access the status table.

    What could be the problem?

    One question - given the way the authentication of the application is set up - when a person signs this schema/user are they connected as?

    Thank you, Tony

    I don't see the privilege to 'select' on XX_BMC_DLRINV.MS_US_STATES? Your APEX application schema needs grants 'live' on the objects he needs to access. Privileges gained through roles will not be recognized.

    GRANT SELECT ON XX_BMC_DLRINV.MS_US_STATES TO DLR_INV;

  • How to get iSCSI SAN connected to ESX when the SAN is on a different subnet?

    Hi all

    I have two machines ESX which are directly connected to a San that are on a different subnet other network cards.  Other network cards are 10.x.x.x and the SAN is on 172.16.x.x, however whenever I try to add the iSCSI storage, the system will never find the LUN.  I put the vmkernel 172.16.x.x but it does not always find them.  I know that the LUNS are configured correctly if its ESX just having problems with the other subnet.

    You need to activate the Service Console to see the iSCSI SAN, too. This is because you use the initiator software. For example, you can add a second SC in the vSwitch that your VMKernel Port is connected and align on the same subnet.
