I would suggest WPA-PSK. Several organizations have recently demonstrated how to crack WEP keys in under an hour, and in the case of the FBI, as little as three minutes. WPA-PSK is a much more secure technology.
You need to log in your router, and enable security for wireless networks.
It wireless network settings choose "do not broadcast SSID", activate security for wireless networks. It's better for you if use WPA at least.
Wi-fi Protected Access. It's a security protocol embedded in Windows to secure wireless networks.
There is a company called AirTight Networks that can help your company stay secure. You can get good security from them at: www.airtightnetworks.com/home/company/overview.html .
Right click on the wireless adapter choose "View available wireless networks". After that just double click on the network which you want to connect to. If you want to connect to a secure network you have to know the security key which you have to enter before you will be able to use the secure wireless network.
Wireless networks aren't as fast as wired networks. Their not as reliable either, or as secure. The only reason people use them is for the convienence of not being restricted by a wire.
A person does not need a website to find unsecured wireless networks in an area. Just opening the Wireless Network Connection page on a laptop will show the wireless networks that are in range. If there is no closed lock next to the name of the network, then it is not secure.
Wireless networks use the CSMA/CA access method, which is less secure than CSMA/CD.**Edit** The above information is not relevent to how secure a network is. It is however relevant to certain topologies in the infastructure of a network**The correct answer is… Wireless networks transmit data over the open space.The above answer is correct.However, if properly secured a wireless network is much much stronger than one might think.I am a no0b here so if I did anythingincorrect in revising or adding to this post I apologize and encourage an Admin to message me and set me straight.

Wireless modems are extremely secure as long as you set up a password. To increase security, you should have your computers firewall enabled as well.
No. Broadband is just a signaling method. It has nothing to do with the security, or lack thereof, of wireless networking. Wireless has very limited security since it is open to the public.
A wireless router's security can be ensured by accessing its settings and checking the security options. Configuring the WEP key is the most common option, but other options such as WPA-PSK are more secure and easier to set up.
The top rated security programs for networks are as follows: AVG, Norton, Avira, Panda, McAfee, Avast, Bitdefender, System Care, Bull Guard and F-secure.
