    I live in SE Wisconsin. Close to Lake Michigan, so it's a bit chilly in summers.

    I did not realize that having the wireless network unsecured was that bad. It's like picking up the soap in prison, you could get screwed!!!

    I'll have to make another attempt on password protecting that network. I'm sure one of you good ol' boyz could provide a pointer if I end up with a meltdown again

    Like I said before, I recommend using WPA-PSK. For the ASCII pre-shared key use a long nonsensical string of letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. There's other stuff too, but that's your best first option. Do not give out your pre shared key to anyone you wouldn't trust with a full set of your house and car keys.
