Securing my Home WiFi Network

I've had a WiFi [802.11b] network at home since last year. Mainly installed it so I could use my PocketPC and surf the net and check email. I didn't put in a WEP (Wireless Encryption Protocol) Password for 2 reasons. 1) One our devices [Toshiba e740 PocketPC] was having trouble connecting to a secured network. 2) I figured no one but me would be connecting anyways. Well fast forward to a year and guess what WiFi is so prolific that in our Town House I now detect 2 more networks [the neighbors]. So last night I hunkered down and proceeded to add WEP to our Network. Our network was named default [yeah I know never thought of any fancy name] so I renamed it CASTRO WiFi Zone. I also proceeded to update the Firmware on the router [we have a D-Link DI-714+].

Can't say I see any big changes after applying the firmware though.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509
