Wi Fi HELP

[nymph4]

I have a Q/A about Wi Fi and I don't have one or use one?

If I wanted to have my Laptop conect to the internet but I did not want to have my Laptop pluged into the phone jeck and have to stay in one place I would get a Wi Fi Tranmiter.

So I would plug the Wi Fi Transmiter into my phone jeck and and put a Wi Fi Card into my Laptop.

So the Wi Fi Transmiter would then Transmit a wireless signal to my Laptop and connect my Laptop to the phone Jeck and the internet.

I get how all of this works but one thing?

I my somebody in the next house has a Wi Fi Transmiter in there house I can just buy a Wi Fi Card and put it into my Laptop and just connect onto the Wi Fi Signal coming from next door I get this to.

But weather I connect to my Wi Fi Transmiter or to someone elses Wi Fi Transmitter can someone  huck on to my connection to still information about me or things like that??

Something was on the news about that and I did not understand it.

You should really use the Spell Check feature nymph4. I can barely understand parts of your post, but here goes.

First of all how are you currently connected to the internet?
Dial-up modem, Cable, DSL, ADSL, etc...

But weather I connect to my Wi Fi Transmiter or to someone elses Wi Fi Transmitter can someone  huck on to my connection to still information about me or things like that??

Yes someone could break into your wireless connection, just like everything else wireless isn't unbreakable. But you can make it hard to do by applying proper security.

Just so you know, it was probably talking about a wireless router and yes, those can be hacked, most quite easily. Although, if you use WPA encryption it should be fine. WEP isn't as safe because a certain program, which i won't mention here because i don't want to encourage hackers, can crack those kind of codes.
