Well made a big mistake,the 14 year old came round and said having problems with their internet,and he has homework to do,and could connect on his wireless laptop so i said ok till i asked his parents the next day,and was told he has been banned from going on certain sites on the home computer , so he tried to bypass that by connecting onto my line .
So basically he is a little **** and not to be trusted.
Lesson learned by me .

Thanks Mems

It's not something I'd have done admittedly.. I gather you trust your neighbour.

You could also whilst in the manual, look at accepting only machines identified by a MAC code and possibly thinking about WPA instead of WEP.

Change the WEP/WPA key. The manual will tell you how.
