How To Secure Your Wireless Network

Just came across this tutorial on securing your wireless network and thought I would share it, seems useful for the novice user....

"Just as you wouldn’t allow strangers to use your gas or electricity, free-loaders should be stopped from accessing your wireless network. If a complete stranger, or one of your neighbours were able to access your wireless network, they could steal your bandwidth and use up your monthly data allowance, or potentially gain access to your private data. In the most extreme cases, your connection could be used by a would-be hacker for more unsavoury things, such as that of Barry Ardolf, who hacked into his neighbours WiFi network and used it to view child porn in an attempt to frame them..."
