2 Questions> about a Secure wireless line and WIFI PIGGYBACKING? I am trying to decide between getting DSL or getting wireless internet. I like the idea of wireless internet and being able to use it anywhere in my house and shop. My 1st question is if I have a wireless computer set up in my house, but I also want to use it in my shop which is a totally separate outbuilding would I have to not secure my homebase connection in order to access it from a router in my shop. I have heard about people piggybacking on unsecured networks so I am wondering how safe it would be to not secure it. By the way, What does everyone think about this Wifi piggybacking. Do you think that it is legal or illegal? which leads to my 2nd question. My son says that he does not think that wifi piggybacking is illegal. He said that some people don't secure thier networks and don't care if anyone uses it. I'm not so sure that I believe that. I would like to see a show of hands of people who do not care if others use thier network by accessing by wifi piggybacking

Why is my secure wireless network connection so slow? I connect to the internet with AT&T DSL 2wire 2701HG-B wireless modem. I setup a secure network and used the WEP number to secure it. Everytime i try to log on to the internet on my laptop(Dell Inspiron 1520 internal wireless card) it is ridiculously slow if at all. The monitoring icon says the connection is excellent, but yet sometimes I can't log on. I usually have to go back and log on with an unsecure connection like dlink. Am I doing something wrong? Or maybe I didn't set up my connection correctly. I need some advice. Does anyone out there have the same problem? Thanks in advance for any help.
