Neighbor's WiFi - Would you connect?

[Jackson1647545504]

I decided to do without cable for a while at home which includes internet. However, the SSID of "NETGEAR" popped up recently with exellent signal strength running as an open network. In lieu of recent changes, I'm tempted to connect .... would you l33ch?

[AngryBMW]

I would, but I'm a bad person

[BIGGU]

why not, if your neighbor's stupid enough to not secure his connection id use it.

[Casper]

Definitely. Its not stealing. They're giving it away.

[dragknee66]

I would... cause I dont have internet at home

[Farkas]

I would as well.. just make sure your computer is locked up and they can't wander into your pc with reason to get revenge.

[morabu]

umm......YEAH

as mentioned, if their dumb enough to not secure the connection, then leech away

[Archie]

Get after it!! Be sure to download lots of copywritten music/movies/porn to suck up their bandwith...

That's what I did for 3-4 months until my neighbor wised up and locked me out.

[Skinner]

hell yeah i would use if if they locked it down would get a key sniffer and keep using it.

[BloodRed]

I would use it also. I have a WiFi Network set up at home with security. When I do a search of available networks, I have the options of 8 networks. Only 2 in the area have any security, mine is one of them. If they don't lock it up, they are giving it away to anyone. So go a head. I know a lot of people that do the same thing you are doing.

You were at my place man...you see I don't even have my furniture moved here, yet I can use CR That's because of all the fantastically free unsecured wireless networks here. GO FOR IT...YOU CAN DOOOOO IT! lol

[Rally Pat]

Yeah. The law says that if your neighbor's network is not secured, they are giving it away. So if its open, feel free to use it.

[andyjs3589]

Just wondering if there is any way of them telling if you are using it?

[copperhead]

I look at it as share and take. I leave mine open, because I tend to be in other places hoping I can pick up a connection on my laptop. Just keep in mind, other people's stuff isn't always reliable, so don't assume it will always be there.

[Buck531]

Use it, hack into one of their PC's, and look at their home made porn.

[SpaceGhost]

Type in 192.168.0.1 then at the login type "admin" in the user and "password" for the pasword, then secure the wireless with a WPA and give it a password you know. That way you lock them out and you have it all to yourself. :thumbup:

[Rally Pat]

linksys routers its admin/admin

[street pilot]

if you just surf the web they will probably never know you are there. do it. especially until you get your own connection.

 

I have thought about going in with a neighbor (or two) on wireless, 90% of the time I am not using my connection to its full potential. $20 a month is better than $40.

[Nitrousbird]

It is illegal to do this if you are caught. Decent penalites if I recall correctly.

 

That said, you'd be amazed at how many open connections there are around town!!

 

That's why my router is locked down with both the network key AND can only connect if the wireless router's MAC address is hardcoded into the router. That should help keep people off my shit.

[suffocateXfaster1647545505]

Yes.

[Acec]

Just wondering if there is any way of them telling if you are using it?

 

 

If it isn't secured, then more than likely they wouldn't know how to track it either

 

 

btw - i would use it

[hot_wire]

I intentionally leave my network open for people like you. If I were to notice a large drop in speed, I'd probably close it up. Since I dont use all the bandwith that I pay for, it makes me feel good giving away the extra (plus I love finding open networks when I'm away from home).

 

Link into it! Especially if you're my neighbor

[Patrick]

i leave mine open. Let the people use it. and my neighbors all around are cool, so if i ever get signal (i quit using wireless 2 yr back) i'd use it.

[Mowgli1647545497]

Is this a trick question?

 

Are there pictures of bewbs involved?
