I usually trade from my desktop with a cabled DSL connection. I have been thinking of getting a Dell notebook for downstairs, wireless for more flexibility. I have heard there are security issues (intercepting account credentials) with wireless. I live in a fairly rural area. The road is 140 yards from my house. My nearest neighbor is 100 yards from my house. Do I have to be concerned with security on the wireless over these distances? On the other hand, how difficult are the customized setting to do? TIA
do yourself a favor and spend 175.00 and get an apple airport extreme... works first time every time ...
I would never trade off of wireless. I have heard of too many stories of ppl. have momentary blip outages on wireless, where they lose connection for 1 second or less sporadically throughout the day. I have heard it happens often enough to make it a nuisance. I don't need that happening when trying to place an order. An OP on ET said he was able to solve that issue, but I can't recall how. If this issue has been resolved in the last 6 months I would like to hear it. I know I was just talking to my relative on skype on a wireless connection and we kept getting dropped just as mentioned.
