A whole lot of wireless

We first got our wireless router about three years ago in Norfolk. In our neighborhood we were the only wireless network at the time. When we moved to Charlotte two years ago we were also the only wireless network at the time. I've helped my mother (no other network), aunt (no other network), and a friend (one network in range) all hook up wireless networks about two years ago.

Now in my neighborhood, which I'm soon leaving, my laptop can detect two other networks, progress I guess. Today I set up the wireless network in our new house. My laptop detected 28 other wireless networks. That is just a crazy number. This is a subdivision sure but that is a huge amount of people who are looking at porn without wires. Typical in a wireless home network about half of them aren't password protected.

Be careful. Just because the network is open doesn't mean that you can safely use it.
