Everyone likes free stuff.So here's a selection of things you can try yourself

Wireless Security

• Change the default password and username on your wireless router-it's quite easy to find the default ones!
• Change the default SSID to something you can remember but not that identifies the type of router-dont use your house number, name   and/or street address
• Use encryption-only use WEP is you really have no choice but WPA/WPA2 is really what you should be aiming for
• Turn off your SSID and use MAC filtering
• Turn off remote web management on the router
• Change the default channel-with some good scanning software, you can see your neighboring routers and put yourself in a "quiet" space

PC Connection

Depending on your type of router, make sure that

• The connection from your router to your modem is properly configured for half or full duplex
• You configure your routers DHCP server for only a limited amount of users (say 10 rather than the default of 254!)
• You assign static IP address to your commonly used machines (helps for future troubleshooting)
• Your PC and laptop have their TCP/IP stack optimised
