Problems:
1) Wireless network is not password protected.
2) Wireless networks are in highly populated ares which makes it harder to track down people that hack into your networks
3) If the wireless network is auto-connect it makes it easier for hackers to get into your networks and get free internet access.
4) There are limits to everything you do on your networks; programming and services included.
Solutions:
1) Manage network and add a password.
2) Password protect your network.
3) Do not auto-connect your networks.
4) Get a different network or talk to your computer helper person and ask if they can fix your network settings.
