Turn the WLAN off, if you don't need it. If it is not possible to turn
it off, configure it with a random WPA key and close it. If you don't do
that you run your WLAN in default settings. I don't know the settings
for your router but if I take a Linksys and just turn it on, it runs
with SSID "linksys" without any encryption or authentication, in other
words: anyone who gets into signal range can connect to the network.
Anyone can then use your DSL connection. Anyone can also try to your
computer that you connected by cable. Your neighbors will certainly
welcome it as they don't have to subscribe to a DSL service but I don't
thing this is what you intend.

Yes, I am German. I speak real German, not "German". ;-) Send me an
email if you want...
