Wireless networks using 802.11 have made it simple to connect multiple devices to your home network.This can also make your data availiable anywhere, even outside your home.To set this up all you need is a broadband connection connected to a wireless router or a WAP Wireless Access Point. Your home computers should have wireless access cards installed or if your using a laptop a PCMCIA wireless card. Intel Centrino is great for wireless, I personally use it. I like the fact that I did not have to purchase additional hardware.
Laptop Battery When you set up your wireless router or WAP your signal is broadcast. This broadcast usually goes further than your home or business. People like to drive around finding unsecured wireless access points. This is known as Wardriving, some hackers even mark spots on the sidewalk to let other hackers know your home or business is offering free Internet service, or worse yet access to your data.This is not to scare you but make you aware.

Laptop Computers Use encryption to protect your network. WEP or Wireless Encryption Protocol is not secure, I have cracked my own network with a Linux machine running Kismet. WEP's keylength is only 40 bits, once you collect enough data from packets its only a matter of time for a determined cracker.Instead use WPA which is WI-Fi protected access. This is more secure.
Whether you want to secure your laptop, digital camera, computer case, or any device with a security slot, 1 Cable Locking System provides the protection you need.
Laptop Computer Configure your router to block incoming outgoing traffic you do not use. Consider blocking Port 23 Telnet and Even FTP.
Almost 10 years later, the trend of abandoning desktop computers in favor of laptops is creating a new era in computing security.
Desktop Computer Router manafacturers have default passwords which I find many home users do not change. CHANGE THEM!
