Ok, so we get this laptop, (mainly for POTM) with onboard Wifi. But we havent gotten broadband yet (dont ask) and so we havent set up our router. Unwilling to be tied to a phone cord, hating our dialup provider, and influenced be her friends, POTM has found that we seem to be with reach of several Wifi connections - mainly our neighbors, I suppose.
Naturally this concerned QOTM and me, being technologically backward as we are. Is she doing something evil? Will she get in trouble?
From what I can gather, its legal to do this. Some people dont mind people using their connection, and others are blissfully unaware. (It is easy to block, IIUC) We probably wont disturb others usage, as long as she doest start doing really bandwidth intensive things. and for our own protection, dont send out anything you would want your neighbors to see. And yes, we will still go and get our own broadband.
Is there anything im missing here?
