Theres two ways you can tell. You can tell by logging into your router. Check the wireless settings and make sure security is enabled. Second way, if you have a 802.11g wireless adapter card installed onto your laptop/computer, you should see a wireless icon below the right-hand side of your computer screen. Right click on the icon if you have window vista, click "Connect to a network" If you have windows xp click "View available wireless networks" and you should see if your home network is secured.

To ensure wireless network security, make sure when you set up your network initially change the user id from what the manufacturer has given you. Disable any identifiers that your modem may be giving off. Change your password to a complicated word using upper and lower case letters and numbers.

Each brand of router has a unique means of setting up a secured network. Usually the instructions are included with the router, but some manufacturers such as "d-link" offer free tech support to help you set it up.

You can't verify that your computer or the LAN are secure; you can only take steps to secure it as much as you can, since there are always new attacks and vulnerabilities being discovered.

You really don't know for sure, other than if evidence of a direct attack or data breach show up.

Secure Your Wireless Internet Service?

When you have a wireless internet service, you should know that, if you leave it unsecured, as in, without password protection, then literally anybody who's in the area and carrying a wireless device can piggyback on your connection. At the least, this will result in slower internet, and at the worst, it could be an identity thief or hacker stealing information from you. As soon as you set up your wireless internet service, set it up with a password. The last thing in the world you need is for someone to steal your email password or financial information due to an unsecured connection.
