    Unhappy WIFI signal....No internt

    I have been using my G4 iBook on my next door neighbour's wireless router with no problems at all for the last 4 months. For the last 2 days I have not been able to access the internet even though the airport/wifi symbol is at full strength.
    Can anyone tell me how this has happened and how I can rectify it?

    Cheers

    Dom

    First question: Did you have your neighbor's permission to use his wireless connection? If not, then that's probably why.

    Consider that if you didn't have permission you could get into real trouble for piggybacking on someone else's wifi signal, and sometimes even if it's unsecured.

    Hopefully this isn't the case...

    If you do have permission, ask him what happened. It's possible he might have changed a setting on his AP that would have affected your access.

    Here's some proof if you think I'm kidding:
