No no no, you don't want to block them from your wifi, you want to have some fun with this. 
Something like this scenario:
Or, look up Upside-Down-Ternet and other similar tools you can use to mess with wifi freeloaders.

| That is the most important thing to do, is set up a password as soon as you get your router, there may be others freeloading off your wifi too, I have been known to go Wardriving for routers like yours, while traveling, just so I can do a quick e mail. So it best to set up your security better, and make sure you don't have your drives shared on your network, people are very curious about what may be on them. |

Another thing to bear in mind is the trouble you could end up in with the law. If the neighbours or anyone else visits illegal websites or downloads illegal images, then it will be your door the police kick in at 4am not your neighbours.
Any by illegal I mean such things as terrorist material or child porn.

Yes, but in the end they can trace the illegal activiy to the neighbor. But, yeah, they will kick your door down first and you will have to do some explaining. |

What is symphonic metal? Is that anything like Metallica's S&M album? |
Check out bands like Epica, Nightwish and Amberian Dawn. |

I'll look into it when I get home. I had no idea such a genre existed, thank you! |

I doubt that a Somali 9-year old surf sites like this, I imagine that his parents has a pretty tight leash on what he's allowed to look at, but I think the problem is solved now. |

Just try moving your router and computer out of range?

Could be your wireless router or card. The signal strength okay? I know that mine started doing something similar before it just went kaput (the router). I'd go to a site, especially MySpace, and would have to refresh it several times to get it to load all the way. |

I can't understand how this can happend?!? Why does it stop functioning on some pages, like those with a lot of links to different sites and a lot of graphics?
Could my router be crashing?! |

Are you able to plug your PC directly into your modem, bypassing the wireless router? If it works fine then, I would say it's a problem with the router or wireless card. |

I've heard that happens alot. Most routers can have security placed on them. I advice using encryption, so not only can others not log in, but they can't eavesdrop on you either.
