If your router or access point has the capability of setting up a guest network that will let your neighbor share your internet connection but keep him off your home network. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roger Blake (Posts from Google Groups killfiled due to excess spam.)

I use password protection on both bands and have set up the password on my wife's laptop to use the 5.0Mhz band. We have our PCs at opposite ends of our house to accomodate our different tastes in music, etc (and frees up the volume control on my speakers!). Access to the router in this example means the signal has to go through two brick walls which doesn't show any difficulty. I have checked with neighbors on the other side of the road and they can see signals for both bands but they don't need to know the passwords of either band as they have WiFi access from their own routers. |

I believe you can protect you on data using the Windows 10 network protocols with permissions and ownership of the resources functions provided by Windows 10. However to share resources, I must first share the resource on my computer, and then set up her computer to use those resources. For a person coming onto the LAN, ie two daughters, husbands, grandchildren and friends, I must allow them access to the share resources on the two computers. -- Please judge your ancestors by how well the lived up to their standards not yours. They did not know your standards, so could not try to meet them. |

With all the mechanisms available, who knows, maybe your neighbor was already using your Wifi :-/ Paul Heavens! I think I'll get him to get his own. Is the right answer! I don't even let guests at home use our network. That's what guest settings are for. |
