Quick and easy Wi-Fi security
As we've pointed out elsewhere, Wi-Fi security is a troubling thing.
There's some good news, however. According to the Windows Secrets newsletter, which we recommend, a start-up called Witopia offers an easy, quick solution. It's free for one wireless router or access point and up to five users. It doesn't cost much for additional installations.

It is not free. The advertisement is misleading. You pay an annual fee of ~$29, which entitles you to cover 'for free' 1 router and five access points. You pay extra for additional access points over the 'free' five points.

In fact the annual "fee" is not charged for the basic setup - ergo it is "free". Its a clumsy way of providing something for nothing - saying it costs $x and then waiving $x.
