BT home hub
Hi all
i've just upgraded my broadband and got BT's free home hub, i'm only using wired connections, but the wireless light is always on.
Is there any security risk?

I was told by BT that it was mega secure and not to worry. Would still like to turn it off though.

Agree completely with the above, but if keeping your BT wireless at the very least change the admin logon name and password 
Cheers

This is the same BT that doesn't know its left hand from its right?
Sorry, call me an old cynic, but I wouldn't be using BT for anything if it didn't have a monopoly on providing the basic line (in my area
at least)
