Should not be a big issue for you to secure the network. It depends on the routers you are using. Should be WEP or WAP for your encryption and will work off the mac addys of the cards you are using. Most routers now will allow you to get to them via a web browser and you will see the MAC addys of the systems connected to them. Tell them to allow those MAC's and use the WEP or WAP. First time you connect to the router with the system it should ask you for a KEY, Which is like a password that you assign in the router. After that, not many people are going to have the skills to sit outside your house and break the KEY. If they do then let them take what they want cause to break a 128 bit encryption will take them quite some time. And then they need software to place the encryption back together. All can be gotten free off the net, but in my experience 90% of the people who can break it easily are not concerned with mom and pop. Their breaking much bigger fish.
