Can I make another suggestion Wayne?

Change the name of your router, at the moment it is set to the default "BTVOYAGER...etc".

If people know what router you are using it makes it easier for them to find vulnerabilities in your network.

Change the name of it (in other words, change the SSID) to something unexciting.

Be warned though, when you change the name your connection will drop and you will have to re-establish it. Make sure that you have made a note of any WEP/WPA keys that you need before you change the name!!
