Their tech support does work ok but it is based in India as a heads up, you will have troubles understanding them.
Wireless router advise

I have a linksys now. But I had a Dlink for years prior. I thought the Dlink died but all I needed to do was reset it (ha). I had already bought my linksys before I figured out how to reset a Dlink. There is a very specific reset process and not just a push of the reset button on the back. Now I have 2 routers. Yay!
When I call them I just keep throwing questions at them and then they get frustrated and transfer me to a "level 2" rep in the states.
I would secure it, If your neighbor does anything that is illegal, of course it will be traced to your house. And you are liable. I guess it depends on how much you trust your neighbor.
This is where I initially heard about Fon: Steal This Wi-Fi
I'm not sure which neighbor of mine it is that is "stealing" my wifi, but I'm not to worried about it. I still have a few years before I need to be worried about what the kids in the neighborhood might be doing online.

The oldest kid in my neighborhood it 5 and the next oldest kid is 2. The mom of the 5 year old is incredibly over-protective, so I'm sure I have a few years.
I have a LinkSys WRT54GS Wireless Router and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get connected to play games online. I have tried to set up a Static IP Address (also tried this on computers "hard-wired" into the router with ethernet cable), done all the port forwarding for the specific ports the game uses, shut off all firewalls, and still have had no luck at all. My service is through Qwest...do some of you "computer guys" have any other ideas? I'm beginning to wonder if it's just some sort of firewall set up outside of our house that isn't letting me connect directly with other computers/gaming websites. I had this problem at times when living in apartment complexes and thought I would be rid of it once I moved into a house where no one else shares the internet.
Thats crazy. There should be no reason to have issues playing games online. Hosting a game server may cause some issues, but going out shouldnt. What games are you trying to connect with/to.
This may be the problem...I didn't do anything with the modem, however none of the places I went to online mentioned doing that either. I know the ports that need opened/forwarded from the game site, that's not the problem (it's Age of Empires II).
