Router settings
Anyone know proper settings for a Linksys router so that it keeps baddies out but lets me have wireless access?

PM me please :)

3. Hmm. Really?
Makes sense, sure, but most of the bit-sets I see appear to be the 1/4 inch variety.


But I guess thicker is better when you're handling wood. So to speak.

7. If the router already connects to the internet, don't worry about the rest of it.
