Hello

I'm creating a website for information on wireless 802.11/broadband products.

What I was wondering is what would you as the end consumer would want to see on there. What information do you want to read? What are your general questions on wireless/boardband? Would small illustrations /cartoons be more helpful than reading pages/faq's

Thanks in advance for anyone who replies.

Security for one. Have you read the articles in this weeks Computer Weekly? (p6 and p42)

ozzy - I'm covering security, for example I'm doing a top ten security tips for home users.

Below is a rough list. and I do know there are errors/improvements to be done to it.

1. Enable WEP, Any encryption is better than none
2. Change the default SSID of your product. But don’t change the SSID to reflect your address, personal details.
3. If your access point supports it, disable "broadcast SSID".
4. Change the default password on your access point or wireless router.
5. Consider the location of your access point, think about locating the access points toward the centre of your house rather than near the windows.
6. Configure the access control list for your wireless NIC MAC addresses.
7. Turn off DHCP and think about assigning static IP addresses for your wireless clients
8. Change your IP address scheme from the default 192.168.1.0 network.
9. Don’t share your C Drive on your PCs, only share specific folders using difficult passwords
10. Consider using Zone Alarm for your PCs and setting your LAN security access to High
