someone could still be using your wireless if it's not secured (encrypted) even if the router asks for a password to access settings

enable WPA encryption if your router supports it, disable SSID broadcasting if it's on, change the SSID name (can be anything, just write it down so you don't forget it)

The WPA encryption looks daunting, but most offer a passphrase option (sort of like a password) - if passphrase is an option, use that, and pick a password
Note down the code it gives back



OK, I've disabled wireless, and am just using a cable now, and it remains slow.
