Hahahaha,
 
I bought an antennae range extender, so my brother-in-law and nephew who live across the street can use my ISP. They just call me and I turn it on when they want to use it.  The nephew also uses his Sony PSP on it. It was funny he showed me how he was hacking into my signal, but he couldn't get on cause I was running WEP. so I don't broad cast now, but don't run WEP either so he can get on easier. But now I don't broadcast my SSID either, where as before I did while using WEP.
