I recently learned that a nieghbor has been using my dsl to acess the web.
 Is there a cheap easy way to stop this. I have heard this slows me down is this true? I live in an apartment so there may be more. -------------------- JDM guy made me do it.

WEP is a joke if anyone is even mildly determined to steal your bandwidth, as is MAC filtering. IF you're not using it, best bet is to turn off wireless entirely. If you need 802.11, you can get routers with WPA that are a lot harder to crack.
