    One last thing, if your not using the wireless then it would be worth disabling it for security reasons. If it's not configured to the best settings anyone could use your connection for torrenting which could get you into trouble. So disabling it is quick and easy to do. It's easy enough re-enabling it if you ever need it.

    Why take any risk if it's not being used.......by you ;)
