yes i have got wpa on my wireless broadband if i am not mistaken it has 32 digits instead of 24 and is a lot more secure but i still dont do any online banking or buy things with my cards

I have a credit card that I only use for buying on-line. I don't if I am fooling myself or not but it's the only solution that I could think of.

the computer i use downstairs is connected by wires but my daughters in her room is wireles it just saves having wires to connect both computers to the internet but it was a bit of a pain setting up the wpa security and fitting a wifi adaptor to her computer
