How do I make my wireless signal sucure from others using it?

How do I make my wireless router secure, so others nearby cannot access it?

Use WPA2 encryption with a sufficiently complex password, and keep it in a location physically inaccessible to those nearby others.

  • How do I make my wireless signal stronger?

    I have an airport extreme wireless router and confgured it today.
    I read everywhere that it was extremely strong and reached everywhere.
    However i have set it up today and I can barely pick it up from the room next door, is there a way to make the signal stronger??

    You're dealing with "flea power."  The Extreme and Express deliver about One tenth of one watt at 100% percent power.  In practical applications, wood framed houses utilizing gypsum wall boards give the best results.  Since metal is a great radio signal attenuator, the more metal that is installed within the walls, the poorer your wifi results will be.  As a crude example, in a wood framed house, you can expect good results up to 30 - 40 feet away, on an interference free channel.  After that, things get dicey.

  • How do I make my wireless trackpad discoverable?

    How do I make my wireless trackpad discoverable?

    Hello Shari BSW,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You can take a look at the Quick Start Guide:
    Magic Trackpad Quick Start Guide
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1544/en_US/Magic_Trackpad_UG.pdf
    Pg 4 has instructions for pairing and removing a paring. When the Magic Trackpad is not pared with a computer, turning it on puts it into discovery mode automatically (pg 3).

  • How do I make my wireless router the "preferred" one?

    How do I make my wireless router the "preferred network"?  I have to manually re-select it each time I boot up or when it comes out of standby.  This has only started to occur now that I have a new wireless router.  I want it to automatcially select my router.

    Have you restarted your computer?  Repaired permissions and restarted your computer? 
    Which os are you using?

    little wireless cameras would not have the ability to send back to the base, even thought the base can reach it.
    Now if you take regular cameras and wire them into a Cisco switch that was attached to a wireless bridge that could shine back to the base...now you might have something, but your still going to have to do a survey/path analysis to determine if it is feasible.
    Coverage isnt throughput. I see one base station with 3 or 4 sectoral antennas depending on direction, pointing two several distribution bridges to bridge the gaps that go out again to the cameras...something like that. And all of it should be higher in the air than your construction.

    shoo: if i had to do that for every file i get  i would go insane, as scott said, post contract: files that they (sub contractor) supply you, presume them ok unless you KNOW otherwise, or a copyright flag pops up contradicting ownership.

  • How do I make a bug report visible to others?

    I submitted a bug report and the conformation came back as follows:
    Your report has been assigned an internal review ID of: 164090
    This review ID is NOT visible on the "Java Developer Connection" (JDC).
    How do I make this bug report visible to others?

    You don't. The person dealing with it does if they reckon it's a real bug and worth bothering with.

  • How do I make a connection to SQL Server Express using SQL Developer 1.5.3?

    How do I make a connection to SQL Server Express using SQL Developer 1.5.3, if it's possible at all?
    Also, I received a SQL Server dump file of some sort. Is there any way to read this file in SQL Developer and migrate the db to Oracle? Unfortunately I don't have raw DDL and DML for this database--just some sort of a binary dump file from SQL Server.
    Thanks.
    Dana

    Are you using SQL Developer 1.5.3 or 1.5.4?
    If using an older version (i.e. 1.5.3), then you'll have to add a DLL to your environment. This is [ntlauth.dll].
    If you don't find this DLL in your SQL Developer directory, then obtain the JDBC SQL SERVER Pluggin (jtds-1.2.2-dist.zip) from:
    http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33291&package_id=25350
    Copy the ntlmauth.dll in the ...\\...\ide\lib directory (no need to register it).
    Note: this approach should work if using DQL Developer 1.5.3 and SQL Server Express 2008

    M. R.
