Default Paranoid

Hi all, I just finally after 1.5 years managed to get internet in my room. The Internet is being sent from the talktalk modem with i think is connected to a router (belkin)which i then plugged in my Edimax EW-7416APn Wireless 802.11n Access Point and then the signal beams down 4 floors to my room and i recieve it through a Edimax Wireless nLITE 3dBi High Gain USB Adaptor. Is it possible for someone to hack the access point, talktalk modem which is connected to a router or even my laptop?

Quick Note: The Edimax access point has been password protected and is using WPA TKIP encryption

Thanks!!!

Hi all, i managed to change my settings on my access point to WPA2 (AES) so hopefully that should keep the buggers out!

Make sure you dont use any word that are in the dictionary or abc123 an example of a good password would be sdjfh67hg$%m WPA can be cracked but using brute force
