Story: 10 ways to wireless security
Providing an additional unsecured Wi-Fi access to the internet might stop casual intruders. Maybe a corporation with a huge amount of bandwidth could spare a little to support such an approach but what of the small business or home user? Do you really have bandwidth to spare? Do you trust strangers to share your connection? In an age of cyberterrorism, internet fraud, spam and paedophilia do you really want to allow others to use your bandwidth for their unapproved and possibly nefarious activities? I don't... I certainly don't want the police turning up on my doorstep having determined my WAN IP address is linked to crimes. I don't want to explain 'it wasn't me' as someone dismantles my PC. I enjoy the benefits of wireless access but I want the exclusivity of Ethernet. It's my bandwidth, mine all mine.
