    erm WPA can actually be cracked you know so not neccessarily terrible, im guessing that no one around is going to to this anyways so it doesnt matter, but you know
  • I leave mine on all the time. With updates etc always happening even minor ones it's good to leave on. Plus the new hubs u can set to go into less power consumption mode I believe so uses even less elec but is still oN

    I work in IT and know that WPA can be cracked but nobody is going to do it when you take into account the following:

    7 Characther Alphanumeric password will take 12 years to crack with the fastest password cracker out there
    8 Charachter = 446 years
    9= 16000 years
    10 = 580,000 years

    all that work just for free interent and if PC is secured, no information.
