[jaws-uk] Re: Wireless Protection

Nigel,

It was a while since I set up my BT home hub and cannot remember exactly what I 
did.  Does anyone know what the original password is?  I would assume I had to 
change it straight away, but cannot remember.
Thanks
 
Dave

If you did not secure your hub when you were setting up your connection I would 
consider your network to be potentially wide open depending on how good the 
default security settings are.

Nigel
Your screwed!

I'm no pro on internet connections so you tell me.  There is a BT hub 
manager in the programs list but I don't have a password so will have to 
contact BT, oh no not an Indian call centre again!

Dave

If someone logs on to your hub, would it not show you in My Network Places?

There should be an interface to your hub that you can log into and once in 
there you can display a list of connected users.

Cheers

Hi George,

I am currently paying for option 3 which is supposed to be up to 8 
megabites.  Is there anyway of telling if someone is tapping into my 
connection? Anyone know just how secure the BT home hub is?
Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave,

The only way I know to check out speed issues with any degree of certainty, 
is to run some tests at decidedly nasty hours of the day or night, when 
there are likely to be fewer users around.

I think some providers are pushing the "contention ratios"
just too far, and what may have been 50 to 1 when you got it installed may 
be more like 75 or 100 to 1.

For example, I find that Saturday midnight to Sunday 8am, my download speeds 
are close to 2MB, yet by mid-Sunday morning when all the kids get on line, 
it's down below 1MB

George.

Hi all,

I have seen some posts concerning wireless protection on wi fi etc I 
currently use a BT home hub with my main pc wired to it and my wife uses her 
works laptop pc wirelessly.  In the last few weeks, the internet download 
speed has seriously reduced and I have had concerns about the security of my 
system.  Could someone be using my connection and causing the slow 
connection?  My wife had to load a security code onto a memory stick and 
transfer it onto her pc in order to connect to the hub.  Has anyone else 
noticed a general slowing down of broadband connection speeds?
Thanks in advance.

Dave
