Reply #10: Turn off your SSID broadcast

[paulflorez]

Most wireless routers have an option to turn off your SSID broadcast. If you turn it off, she shouldn't see your wireless connection anymore.

You won't be able to see it either, so you'll have to manually enter the wireless connection name when you connect. Or, you can turn on SSID broadcast, connect to the wireless network, then turn off SSID broadcast. If you connect to wireless once, it usually remembers the connection later.

You could always get VoIP phone like Vonage or a cable provider phone and ditch the landline.

She sounds crazy. Mess with her mind by naming your wireless access point things like "We Are Watching You" or "We Know Where You Live."

OT, the weirdest WAP name I've seen is "Whites Only." I wasn't sure if the people hosting that WAP were racist or just had the last name "White."
