I have Linksys. I'm insecure. I'll figure out how to get secure next week.
D#2 is in the front of the house. I set her up a couple of nights ago and
when we had to pick a network I was surprised to see like 12 choices!! LOL!
When I put myself on, I only had two choices... Linksys and me. D#2 had
half the street! LOL!

I don't remember what D#1 had as choices when I connected her. I just know
tonight she has NO choices and now I"m having to listen to her kvetch
because she has no internet access....sigh.
