It's what my friend Andy did to his neighbour when he (err the neighbour) was being an insufferable, antisocial menace. Cut off his broadband in one fell swoop (well, wireless anyway).


And seriously *Bob*, it would only take one hacker to use your network or one pervert to download some child pornography for the rozzers to be at your door, leave alone the more realistic issue that most broadband packages are capped at a surprisingly low rate, and a few episodes of Eastenders on iPlayer later and your neighbour (or you) is whacked with a ?100 surcharge bill.


I don't want to be all boring and everything but theft is theft.

Turning the router off and on again probably wont give you a new IP. The ISP's set fairly long leases on them so yours may only change once every 3 months or so, though I guess it depends on the provider.


I'd definitely go for WPA2 these days as far as security goes...WEP doesn't cut it anymore and can be hacked in no time. All nice having open networks, but you wont be saying that when the fuzz come knocking!

RIGHT


So I tried that.. put a new password in.

Then it wouldn't let me back in with my new password.

So I turned the router off, and (after disconnecting and connecting a few times) I got the internerd back again, but the router had reset itself to no security again. I'm on Mac (can't you tell?!)


Any more thoughts? Help to-date is most appreciated..


Bet you wish you'd never brought it up now, eh?

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
