stealing a signal?

I was wondering if i get a wireless router can i steal a signal?? without have cable or anything??

 

or you could just get a wireless adapter and just hope one of your neighbours has wireless and leech form them.

 

A wireless adapter ?whats that ,is it costly? well whats the worst that can happen? cant i block the signal after it gets to me so you cant track it or sumthing like that?

 

Sends your connection wirelessly lol and the worst - go to jail lol I think?

And you can get around it but as ddp said

 

well im 16,what can they to do me...so any idea where i can get this wireless adapter,im willing to take the rish,I have dial up

 

Oh dial up lol

Well try USA equivelant of PC world - if you have that over there lol

I'm in UK so can't be much help on that, soz


I'm also off now cos it's late... Gd luck with it

 

lol i think my neighbours was trying to steal me cause i have a router anyways i added [bold]WEP[/bold] encryption muhaha i find this perfect for me

 

u can get wireless adapters in like nearly every new pc or laptop.they should not be more than like $60.you will have to see if someone near you has wireless.

ddp - i dont think there is a way to check if 2 people are using wireless.example.i used my wireless laptop in my garden and my mum was still using the pc.how would you get caught if it was like an old lady with a wireless router.she might see some speed decreases but she might just think its the line and the isp is busy.

 

how did you know they were stealing off you

 

yeah wep encryption helps but you can still extract information from the signal.i read wirless for dummies book and i know how to get bank details and that from a wireless signal.obviosuly ill not use it.

 

Sniping_G,he was not sure since he used "i think"

 

i will tell you why, because i received 60$+ (bill) for downloading stuff from the internet and i didnt download anything

 

you got billed for downloading?
how can that be.it would have to involve your isp then?
as if it was something from lets say itunes they can use your connection but would need to insert there own info

 

i dont know how they did it but i contacted my internet provider and i had to dispute with them, told them i didnt download...

 

is it just you that uses the pc or your family?

 

did u get your money back?

 

since i have a router there should be 2 pcs one for the rest of the family and one for me with a wireless adapter.

and no i didnt get my money back!
