Ive recently set up a wirless network in the house, but i have a bit of a prob the internet on it seems fine but lately when i leave it for a couple of hours r so and come back the network is unlocked so anyone can use im not sure why it does this, does anyone know how and why it does this? im also using WPA security on it.

Is the WPA disabled in the router when you get back ?

I take it that this behaviour can easily be replicated.

Set the WPA key again, but this time DON'T use your normal key. Make a new one and use at least 2 words separated by a space.

Such as,

'wireless key'

Give that a blast.
