    How do I enlock my modem/router so my neighbors can't wirelessly connect to it? Right now, my router is unsecured but with a firewall on. When I look at the possible wireless list, all other ones are locked up but mine.

    Go to your routers website should be 192.168.x.x(look in owners manual) and when you get to security you should beable to set it up there usually its WEP or WAP its pretty simple just follow the instructions.Plus maybe try changing the channel that your routers on you can do this also at the website.
