OT: wireless problem

[Michael Butash]

Use wpa2/aes, anything else is somewhat vulnerable at this point, but 
set it in your ap first.

Agree on the interference though, might have to try bouncing different 
channels to see what works better than others.  Use of 2.4ghz is 
saturated at this point, so its pure rf wars within it.  If you can use 
5ghz for a/n, that's usually better, but shorter distances and less 
penetration a house.
