Check your Router !!! this is unbelieveable bad security
Hi there
I couldn't believe this -- I'm switching my wireless connections completely from 2.4GZ to 5GHZ wireless (cable just upgraded to a nice optical fibre @ 200 Mb/s !! season 1 game of thrones approx 40 GB download at full 1080p with eng subtitles in around 65 mins over Wireless !!).
When changing the router though to use the 5GHZ wireless look at the logon screen I got propmted with. The default was printed on the bottom of the router --that's fine but it shouldn't have presented that on the logon screen.
So I'd check and change your Router passwords if I were you. The cable router (WAN direct optical connection) broadcasts parallel streams 5 and 2.4 GHZ - I've disabled the 2.4GHZ -- the 5GHZ is nice and strong now with new router.
(note this is the router I'm using as a WIFI-->ethernet bridge --the WAN (Main Cable router) was fine and excellently secure with a randomly generated password).
The download settings using the bridge max at 433 mb/s -- that's fine - you won't get that on Wifi though --. Still faster than wifi only on a laptop which is where I tested my new wifi before setting up the bridge.
Cheers
