Hi everyone I am new to this forum and got a question about internet connection.

Recently I found out that my "friend" (well we used to be friends...) next door might be stealing my wireless internet signal. As we were friends, I have given him my WPA in the beginning to share the internet just in case. However I am regretting it as I have found out he is a selfish b******. Is there a way to keep my connection activated while stopping him from accessing? Sorry I am a newbie and know little about internet/wireless connection

Thank you guys
 
Sure there is :)
You need to go to the setup screen for your router and change the key.
Most routers are accessible by going to http://192.168.1.1 with your favorite browser and entering the user name and password.

When you get in, go to the tab or window for wireless security. Pick a new key and write it down so you can change the key on any other wireless devices you want to grant access to. You may as well change your router password, too. That way your "friend" won't be able to get in at all.

When you're done, go into your computer's Network Connections and you'll need to enter both the new password as well as your changed key.
