    connected with no padlock means you are not secure, see the link in my last post to secure it. It is best to do this with a wired connection.

    It was set up through main computer but I will check again in the morning.

    Many thanks for all your help.:T

    not if you are connected to an unsecure one?

    what are the 3 names (SSID's) in the list (i.e. Belkin, netgear, bthomehub, linksys, skyxxxxx etc.), and which one are you connected to?
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:
  • ours says the hunters
    the other 2 had belkin 54 and livebox aa10

    so the one which you are connected to is called hunters, but has no padlock?

    If so, is it still there, and can you surf, if you switch the router off
