Home Wireless Network Security

by arichart . Updated 20 years ago

I have a wireless network (relativley small bandwith) at home running on an inexpensive Netgear router. One laptop with wireless card and a desktop with a wireless card. Wep is enabled (64 bit with my own encryption key and not a factory default). In the attached devices area, it shows my two computers and their MAC addresses. Is this secure enough to keep, let’s say, a neighbor from using my network? Is there a way to determine if someone is using this to connect to the Internet and/or my files?
