This is why you should have a password on your wireless router..

A homeowner from Buffalo, New York found himself staring at the multiple assault weapons in his home after a police raid looking for child pornography that he allegedly downloaded from the Internet.  Further investigation revealed that the culprit was his neighbor, using his wireless router to connect and do the dirty deed.  Apparently, the homeowner got frustrated trying to set up the password on his new wireless router, gave up and left it without one.  I get many people ask me about why they need a password, here is the best answer.  Pedophiles and criminals will cruise neighborhoods looking for unprotected networks to connect to specifically to do these types of things.  Check out my Wireless and WiFi pages for information on how to protect your network.
